RFP-Animated Video Story

Established in 2002, Ipas Nepal is an International Non-government Organization (INGO) which works on Health System and Policy, Women-led Climate Justice, Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Response, Agency and community, and Humanitarian support. Ipas Nepal’s focus area includes Safe Abortion, Contraception, Gender Based Violence, Community mobilization, and Climate change, gender and SRHR. Ipas Nepal is part of the Ipas Impact Network, a locally led, globally connected network of Ipas teams in 18 countries with extensive global technical and operational expertise and experience on intersectional approaches to advance reproductive justice by expanding access to safe abortion and contraception.

Nepal is highly vulnerable to climate change. According to the Climate Risk Index, Nepal ranks 10th in the world as a country most affected by past climate hazards.The effects of climate change— such as rising temperatures, natural disasters, water scarcity, and food insecurity—pose direct and indirect threats to public health and intensify existing gender inequalities. For a long time, climate change was viewed solely as an environmental issue. However, its connection to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is now both undeniable and pressing.

Recognizing the urgent need to bridge climate action and reproductive justice, Ipas Nepal aims to amplify awareness and foster dialogue around the intersection of climate change, gender, and SRHR.
