Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE)

The Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) is a U.S.-based non-governmental organization whose mission is to promote the sexual and reproductive health and human rights of women and girls globally by shaping the development and implementation of U.S. policies. We do this by bringing evidence and research to US policy makers; bringing women from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia to Washington, D.C. to meet directly with US government officials; and working closely with women's health, development, and human rights organizations. We envision a world where sexual and reproductive health and rights are universally recognized, and where comprehensive, integrated sexual and reproductive health services are accessible and available to all, free from coercion, violence, and discrimination.
