We say: It's us. We can do something!

In a Masterclass held with SheDecides activists from countries around the world, founder of SheDecides Lilianne Ploumen shared how her journey of activism was shaped by her unique story and experiences, and all built up to that pivotal spark in 2017 - the Global Gag Rule.

“I was born when the 1994 ICPD plan was signed. My generation watched as our leaders recommitted. Keep the promises you made to us.” Sonali Silva, SheDecides Champion, 25x25 Generation of Change

Landmark events must be followed by clear commitment and radical progress. And young people are leading that charge to hold commitment-makers to account.

Two years on from the ICPD+25 Nairobi Summit, and with the High Level Commission’s first annual report on progress published, join us and IPPF as we host a dialogue between Commissioners and SheDecides 25x25 Generation of Change young activists—the foot soldiers of keeping ICPD commitments alive and achieving its ambitious goals.

#AbortionIsEssential

On 1 December, the US Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the landmark abortion rights case - Roe vs Wade. If it is overturned, it would set a precedent for use by anti-gender and anti-women’s rights groups around the world. SheDecides stands in solidarity with the Center for Reproductive Rights and all those fighting this threat. Because this is a global issue. Because #AbortionIsEssential.
