Mission: Ibis Reproductive Health aims to improve women?s reproductive autonomy, choices, and health worldwide. Ibis accomplishes its mission by conducting original clinical and social science research, leveraging existing research, producing educational resources, and promoting policies and practices that support sexual and reproductive rights and health. We work closely with advocates to conceptualize research questions and to help ensure the results of our research lead to positive change in women?s lives. We focus on improving access to abortion, expanding contraceptive choices, advancing prevention strategies for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, and linking reproductive health and HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Incorporated and granted 501(c)(3) status in 2002, our staff of nearly twenty is located in our offices in Cambridge, MA (headquarters); Johannesburg, South Africa; and San Francisco, CA.
