International Women’s Health Coalition
The International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) recognizes that women’s and girls’ human rights, health and equality are essential to social, environmental, and economic justice for all.
IWHC advances the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and young people, particularly adolescent girls, in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. IWHC furthers this agenda by supporting and strengthening leaders and organizations working at the community, national, regional, and global levels, and by advocating for international and U.S. policies, programs, and funding.
The IWHC works to build healthy and safe communities for women and girls by focusing on these four priorities:
- Advance the Rights of Adolescent Girls
- Promote Comprehensive Sexuality Education
- End Early and Forced Marriage
- Ensure Safe and Legal Abortion
Since 1984, IWHC has helped build and strengthen more than 80 organizations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. We have provided mentorship and $24 million in grants to women and youth advocates across these regions.
