About us
Fòs Feminista is as an intersectional feminist organization centered around the sexual and reproductive rights and needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Led and governed by the South, Fòs Feminista works with a growing ecosystem of organizations in 35 countries to provide access to sexual and reproductive health care and to advocate for the sexual and reproductive justice of women, girls, and gender-diverse people to be protected and respected in every dimension of their lives. We recognize that the ability to make free and informed choices about sexual and reproductive health, including to access to safe and legal abortion, is central to their life plans and to achieving sexual and reproductive justice. In 2020, Fòs Feminista undertook a bold process to redefine itself as an anti-racist, anti-ableist, decolonial, and intersectional feminist organization. This transformation laid the foundations for the formation in June 2021 of a new feminist alliance that brings together the work of the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) and the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) under the leadership of Fòs Feminista. Fòs Feminista is integrating the expertise of each organization, bringing together sexual and reproductive health care and education, advocacy for gender and reproductive justice, and trust-based grantmaking to grassroots activists and organizations. The launch of this exciting new feminist alliance will maximize the collective impact of these organizations at a time when the world needs diversity in leadership and an unapologetically feminist voice for sexual and reproductive health and rights in global spaces.

EN/FR/ES Menstruation is a natural, healthy, and necessary part of life for most women, girls, and gender-diverse people. But cultural taboos and discrimination still pose barriers and conservative, patriarchal culture and beliefs continue to cast menstruation is as ‘unclean. We need to break down stygma, foster understanding and promote comprehensive sexuality education to ensure everyone can manage their menstrual health with dignity and not with shame. La menstruation est une partie naturelle, saine et nécessaire de la vie pour de nombreuses femmes, filles et personnes de genre divers. Pourtant, les tabous culturels et les croyances discriminatoires continuent de la qualifier d'‘impure.’ Nous devons briser ce stigmatisation, favoriser la compréhension et promouvoir une éducation sexuelle complète pour garantir que chacun puisse gérer sa santé menstruelle avec dignité et non avec honte. La menstruación es una parte natural, saludable y necesaria de la vida para muchas mujeres, niñas y personas de género diverso. Sin embargo, los tabúes culturales y las creencias discriminatorias aún la señalan como 'impura.' Debemos romper este estigma, fomentar la comprensión y promover la educación sexual integral para asegurar que todas las personas puedan gestionar su salud menstrual con dignidad, no con vergüenza. #StoriesFromTheSouth Stichting PSI Europe Global South Coalition for Dignified Menstruation Equipop Agence Française de Développement
