Pathfinder: How We Advocate

Côte d’Ivoire,   Burundi,   Bangladesh,   Niger,   India,   Tanzania,   Ethiopia,   Kenya,   Nigeria,   Uganda,   Pakistan

At Pathfinder, we know that advocacy is essential to creating the social, political, economic, and judicial systems and policies that allow for the delivery of effective, rights-based, and client-centered health services. Pathfinder is at the forefront of advocating for evidence-based policies that advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We draw on our 60 years of experience, inspiring policymakers and communities to take action, and working closely with local civil society organizations, governments, faith-based institutions, and the private sector on advocacy initiatives around the world. From the US Supreme Court to local governments, our advocacy initiatives have removed barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights, improving health and well-being for millions of people.
