Libera is an independent initiative born from the 53-year legacy of Planned Parenthood Global. Libera builds on decades of global experience advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Around the world, authoritarian regimes and anti-rights movements are intensifying, deepening the criminalization and violence that deny people their autonomy. Libera, an initiative led from the Global South, was created to meet the urgency of this moment.

What We Do

  • Transforming the legal landscape to end abortion criminalization
  • Driving narrative change towards collective liberation
  • Expanding access to reproductive health services

How we do it

  • Policies that transform
  • Justice that heals
  • Narratives that liberate
  • Services that dignify

Rooted in principles of justice, dignity, and feminist governance, Libera is a catalyst for emancipatory practices that put people and communities at the center. To achieve this mission, we amplify historically marginalized voices, support innovative solutions, and foster collaborations that reimagine justice in Africa and Latin America. Our work fosters South-South cooperation between Latin America and Africa, regions where abortion criminalization continues to deny reproductive dignity to millions of people.

Libera envisions a world where every individual has complete freedom to shape their life and future, free from violence and coercion. In this world, the communities most impacted by injustice shape the systems that govern their realities, thus affirming their rights and dignity.

Growing Reproductive Dignity Across Borders

Join a global movement advancing reproductive dignity through community care, legal defense, strategic advocacy and liberating narratives.   Akna, a 12-year-old girl from Guatemala, and Awa, a 9-year-old girl from Senegal, live thousands of miles apart. Yet their stories are connected.  Both survived sexual violence. Both were forced to continue high-risk pregnancies. And both found the courage to raise their voices, not only for themselves, but for every girl who deserves a different future.  Two girls. Two countries. Two legal systems. Their stories remind us that justice is about more than a legal victory. It is about restoring dignity, opening new possibilities, and creating pathways so that others do not endure the same harm. Across Africa and Latin America, too many people continue to face criminalization, violence, discrimination, and barriers to care because of their reproductive decisions. Justice must reach beyond the courtroom. It must become something people can experience in their everyday lives—through safety, care, belonging, and the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies and futures.  In our first year, Libera helped expand access to reproductive health services for more than 10,000 people, supported the legal defense of more than 30 women facing criminalization through our pioneering legal defense and strategic litigation model, and contributed to securing a historic legal victory that delivered individual reparations for a survivor of sexual violence and forced motherhood. Every victory creates new possibilities. Every person who experiences dignity helps create the conditions for others to experience it too. What Your Gift Makes Possible $2,500 helps document patterns of injustice and build the evidence needed to influence local, national, and international policies that protect reproductive rights for generations to come. $5,000 mobilizes trusted advocates, community leaders, and influential voices to raise awareness that women and girls should never die from pregnancy or be punished for reproductive decisions—transforming individual stories into collective action. $10,000 strengthens access to reproductive healthcare for 400 people , expanding trusted referral networks and community accompaniment so someone facing a crisis can find care, safety, and support before a legal intervention is ever needed. $20,000 helps provide legal defense for 25 women or girls facing criminalization for seeking reproductive healthcare, particularly in rural communities where distance, language, and inequality create the greatest barriers to justice. No matter the amount, every gift becomes part of something bigger. Join us in growing reproductive dignity across borders. Donate today
