IWDA celebrates changes to AusAID Family Planning Guidelines
International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) welcomes changes to AusAID’s Family Planning Guidelines. IWDA Executive Director, Jane Sloane, said today that these changes would save lives and ensure that women were supported with information and services to reduce the incidence of maternal deaths.
Women and women’s organisations around the world were last night celebrating the fact that Australia has followed the example set by President Obama in the US in overturning USAID family planning guidelines that have impacted so tragically on women’s lives.
