national organizations. Its priorities include working on
reducing unsafe abortions, promoting access to good
quality SRH services in particular for young people,
on advocacy in general, and on reducing barriers that
make people vulnerable to HIV and AIDS. IPPF has
regional offi ces in Brussels, Kuala Lumpur, Nairobi,
New York, New Dehli and Tunis. The IPPF website
contains a wealth of documentation including guides
and toolkits, reports, reviews, research and press
releases.
