Inspire, the European Partnership for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights is a European network of NGOs that collaborate on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) issues in development cooperation and global policy. We believe that SRHR is both a fundamental human right and a key factor in well-being, poverty reduction, economic growth, environmental sustainability, gender equality, women’s empowerment and sustainable development, and we are united by our ambition to promote the achievement of universal access to SRHR.
