Väestöliitto, The Family Federation of Finland

Väestöliitto, the Finnish Member Association of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, aims to improve sexual health and rights and access to quality family planning and reproductive health services in low-income countries, particularly for women and young people. This support would allow Väestöliitto to increase the understanding of Finnish policy- and decision-makers that sustainable and positive development outcomes can be achieved by putting sexual and reproductive health and rights at the forefront of policy and budgetary agendas, particularly through the post-2015 development framework.

Väestöliitto works for the welfare of individuals and families. This support would allow Väestöliitto’s Global Development Unit promote political commitment to and official development assistance for sexual and reproductive health and rights, safe motherhood, voluntary family planning, HIV/AIDS prevention, comprehensive sexuality education, adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights, and male involvement within Finland and globally.
