What International Women's Health Coalition does

Fòs Feminista, formerly the International Women's Health Coalition, is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Tax ID 13-1845455) operating since 2002 as a global feminist alliance for reproductive justice. The organization delivers contraception, abortion care, sex education, menstrual dignity programs, and gender-based violence prevention to marginalized women, girls, and gender-diverse people across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa (with named country presence in Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, Nigeria, Colombia, Guatemala, and Venezuela). Service delivery runs through a multi-channel architecture that combines comprehensive health clinics, mobile health services, trusted local providers, digital health platforms, and self-care supported solutions.

The core operating model is community-led: Fòs Feminista works through a global alliance of feminist partners and grassroots networks, conducting community mobilization, law and policy review, research, and United Nations-level advocacy. To sustain the alliance, the organization invests in local partners via grantmaking, social enterprise initiatives, flexible loans, institutional strengthening, and capacity building. Named multi-year initiatives include Sang Pour Sang (menstrual dignity), Feminist Futures Free From Violence, and the Capacity-Sharing Community for global South solidarity.

Revenue is generated through philanthropic contributions rather than commercial sales. Suggested donation tiers range from $10 to $500, alongside recurring "Champion for Choice" programs, Donor-Advised Fund giving, and legacy giving. The organization is independently rated by Charity Navigator, accredited by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance, and holds the Candid Seal of Transparency, underscoring nonprofit accountability. It operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees and is led by CEO Giselle Carino.

Direct peers

• International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF): Global federation delivering SRHR services, contraception, abortion care, and advocacy across more than 120 countries — the closest direct peer given shared service-plus-advocacy model and global footprint in marginalized communities.
• MSI Reproductive Choices: Operates SRHR clinics, mobile outreach, and self-care channels in Latin America, Africa, and Asia — directly comparable multi-channel delivery model serving women in restrictive-law settings.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: Largest US-based SRHR provider and advocacy organization with global programming arm; overlaps directly on contraception, abortion care, sex education, and policy advocacy missions.
• Center for Reproductive Rights: Global reproductive rights legal advocacy organization using litigation, UN engagement, and law/policy review — directly comparable on the policy-transformation pillar of Fòs Feminista's model.
• Guttmacher Institute: Reproductive health research and policy organization producing evidence used for SRHR advocacy globally — overlaps on research, law/policy review, and evidence-based advocacy functions.

Broad incumbents

• UNFPA: United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency operating globally with far larger mandate and budget; comparable on SRHR advocacy at the UN level and supply chain for reproductive health commodities.

Emerging players

• Women Deliver: Global advocacy organization focused on gender equality and SRHR, primarily through convening, conferences, and movement-building — overlaps with Fòs Feminista's community mobilization and feminist leadership development work.
• Population Council: Global nonprofit research organization developing SRHR evidence, products, and programs — comparable on the research-to-advocacy pipeline and commitment to underserved populations.

Regional players

• SisterSong: US-based reproductive justice coalition led by women of color, focusing on SRHR and human rights — comparable mission and advocacy approach though concentrated in the United States rather than global.
