Sexual Health Care, Education, and Advocacy

Planned Parenthood, founded in 1916, is a trusted non-profit organization that delivers vital sexual and reproductive healthcare, sex education, and information to millions of people in the United States. They also partner with health and rights organizations around the world.

Empowering Through Education

Planned Parenthood addresses the gap in comprehensive sexual education often found in high schools. They provide accurate and inclusive information about contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and consent. This empowers teenagers to make informed choices about their bodies and relationships, reducing unintended pregnancies and the spread of STIs.

Accessible Healthcare for All

Planned Parenthood offers affordable healthcare services to those who might not have access otherwise, particularly low-income families. They provide:

• Birth control options, including pills, patches, IUDs, implants, and injections, with guidance on choosing the right method.
• Pregnancy tests and prenatal care to ensure healthy pregnancies.
• Testing and treatment for STIs, including HIV/AIDS, to prevent their spread.

Fighting for Reproductive Rights

Planned Parenthood advocates for policies that support sexual and reproductive health and rights. They have been at the forefront of ensuring access to safe and legal abortion services. This empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures.
