Global Advocacy Support Specialist

London, Greater London, United Kingdom IPPF Full time
Location:

This position is available globally, with potential bases in various international cities.

Role Objective:
  • To oversee a multi-national advocacy initiative funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) aimed at improving legislative and policy frameworks that support sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), safe abortion access, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), and gender equality at various levels.
  • To collaborate with other relevant funded initiatives, ensuring coordination, alignment, and synergy among projects.
Role Context:

A significant number of individuals worldwide continue to face barriers in accessing high-quality, rights-based sexual and reproductive health services. The landscape is further complicated by growing opposition to SRHR and a world increasingly affected by natural disasters and conflicts. Access to safe abortion care is often underfunded, stigmatized, and criminalized, presenting multiple challenges, especially for marginalized communities. Coordinated resistance also undermines the delivery of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), which is essential for the well-being and protection of children and young people. Anti-rights and anti-gender movements are increasingly obstructing all aspects of SRHR, creating tangible barriers to the realization of rights.

IPPF supports Member Associations (MAs) in fostering a conducive environment for abortion care and CSE. By engaging closely with key stakeholders and communities, particularly those often excluded from conventional health systems, MAs work to shift social norms, policies, and legislation that hinder access to abortion information and services. IPPF facilitates connections between MAs and progressive movements across nations, enabling the exchange of practices, strategies, tools, and insights.
