About
This initiative seeks to improve reproductive health outcomes in the United States through transnational law and policy experience-sharing.
We do this by supporting U.S. advocates and decision-makers in identifying, documenting, adapting, and raising the visibility of groundbreaking law and policy approaches to reproductive health in other countries.
