Power to Decide
Power to Decide envisions a world where everyone - no matter who they are or where they live - has control over their bodies and can decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. Its mission is to advance sexual and reproductive well-being for all. Power to Decide supports populations who face unique and often systemic barriers to achieving reproductive well-being, with a particular focus on adolescents, young adults, and those in underserved communities. Power to Decide affects change by working directly with its priority populations, as well as with those who influence and impact reproductive well-being of their priority populations, including providers, policymakers, researchers, and champions. Power to Decide accomplishes this by providing trusted information, expanding access to quality services, and catalyzing culture change.
