To interested media, As world experts gather to discuss family planning, I want to remind participants that women continue to die and suffer from the consequences of unsafe abortion.

1 To interested media, As world experts gather to discuss family planning, I want to remind participants that women continue to die and suffer from the consequences of unsafe abortion. Access to safe abortion care is a human right and remains a health issue of great importance around the world. The attached flyer lists presentations to be made by Ipas staff at the ICFP. Highlighted sessions focus primarily on the topic of abortion. I encourage you to attend these sessions and look forward to seeing you during the conference. Sincerely, Anu Kumar, MPH, PhD Executive Vice President Ipas
