CHANGE is a human rights organization, tirelessly advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.
We are determined in our pursuit of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all, in particular for women, girls, and others who are discriminated against. We hold the U.S. government accountable to its global commitments toward gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.
We do this by shaping U.S. and global policies, pulling people, coalitions and issues together in new and powerful ways, and elevating the voices of those who are discriminated against.
We take risks and adopt bold, innovative communication strategies to achieve our policy objectives and change the public conversation. We elevate the voices of people who are most affected by U.S. global health policy by providing space and training to help them tell their own stories.
And CHANGE gets results.
