IPPF/WHR: 7 Billion & 16 Days

As the online administrator at International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR), I have the pleasure of working with fellow staff and community partners to develop blog content that reflects the organization’s work on sexual and reproductive health and rights in the Americas and the Caribbean. During the past two months, I’ve curated a 7-part series to mark the world population seeing the addition of it’s 7 billionth person, Our World at 7 Billion, and a 16-part series for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence that explores the intersectionality of gender-based violence with issues such as HIV, unsafe abortion, comprehensive sexuality education for youth, natural disasters, and militarization. It’s not often that individuals have the privilege of marrying what they love to do with what they’re paid to do, and I consider myself to be among the fortunate few.
