The Global Gag Rule bans abortion work by US global health grantees. Reinstated by the Trump Administration in 2017, the rules of the policy are mis-applied and difficult to understand. Plus, the rules changed in 2019 to apply to all subgrantees of US-funded foreign organizations.
In this webinar, we share what US grantees can and cannot do under the Global Gag Rule, and how it impacts the work of Ipas staff and our partners. We also share an update on work in Washington to repeal the Helms Amendment, which bans US funding for abortion.
Our presenters:
Jonathan Rucks, Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy at PAI
Patty Skuster, Senior Policy Advisor for Technical Innovation and Evidence at Ipas
Robert “Gus” Gustafson, Ipas consultant with over 30 years of experience advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights
