International Planned Parenthood Federation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is an international umbrella organization in the field of population policy and is one of the leading organizations of the Population Control Establishment .

The IPPF is the largest private financier of family planning programs worldwide. It emerged from eight national family planning associations (USA, Great Britain, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, Holland, Sweden). The renaming (of the International Committee on Planned Parenthood provisionally established in 1948 ) was decided at the third International Conference on Planned Parenthood in Bombay in 1952.

Officially, the IPPF particularly supports the reproductive right of women to self-determination , but also supports the demands to combat “ overpopulation ”.

Initial funding came from the Hugh Moore Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation . The IPPF was later funded by DuPont , Standard Oil and Shell . The IPPF board includes (as of 2004) representatives of major American and financial corporations.

The non-governmental organization is based in London . National IPPF organizations are active in 170 countries on all continents. Members include Pro Familia (Germany) and Planned Parenthood . It has advisor status at UNESCO and works with other organizations such as Population Council , UNFPA , USAID , WHO , UNICEF and UNEP .

Initial funding for population policy programs was tested on women in Puerto Rico in 1956 and 1961 with the support of the IPPF .

The IPPF sees sexual rights as part of human rights. In May 2008 the IPPF Charter of Sexual and Reproductive Rights was adopted.

[...] Both private agencies, including the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and the Puerto Rican government, with United States government funds , encouraged women to accept sterilization by providing it at minimal or no cost. By 1968 one third of women of childbearing age had been sterilized on the island, the highest percentage anywhere in the world at that time. "
