2024 Highlights: A Year of Resilience and Progress in Advancing SRHR

In 2024, against a backdrop of challenges, remarkable strides were made in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) across East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania Region.

In 2024, against a backdrop of conflicts, humanitarian crises, and emboldened anti-rights movements, IPPF Member Associations demonstrated dedication to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) across East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

Reflecting on this transformative year, Tomoko Fukuda, IPPF ESEAOR Regional Director, said: “2024 was a year of challenges, resilience, and progress. Our Member Associations responded with determination, forging new partnerships and strengthening interventions to serve those most in need.”

For the secretariat, adapting to an evolving landscape meant intensifying efforts to reach underserved populations. Member Associations introduced tailored interventions for young people, enhanced Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) services in clinics, and expanded support for marginalised communities, including women who use drugs and sex workers. These initiatives reflect the collective commitment to leaving no one behind as we continue to address the region’s most pressing needs.

Solidarity For Change 2024: IPPF ESEAOR Regional Gathering and Youth Forum, Iloilo, Philippines

In a powerful display of unity, 100 representatives—including executive directors, youth leaders, and partners from 22 Member Associations across East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania—gathered in Iloilo City, Philippines, to advance Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice (SRHRJ). Under the theme “Solidarity for Change,” the Regional Gathering and Youth Forum offered a dynamic platform for presentations, panel discussions, and exchanges on key topics, including addressing barriers to safe abortion access, countering opposition, strengthening community partnerships, empowering youth advocacy, and building resilience to climate challenges. IPPF ESEAOR Regional Director Tomoko Fukuda set the tone with a compelling call to action, acknowledging progress but urging continued action against complacency in the face of rising opposition, restrictive laws, and climate crises impacting marginalised communities. “We must unite in solidarity, stand up, and speak out to advance SRHR for all, confronting these ever-evolving challenges head-on.”

Thailand Becomes First Southeast Asian Country to Legalise Same-Sex Marriage

Thailand’s landmark Marriage Equality Bill was officially written into law in 2024, allowing same-sex couples to wed legally. Published in the Royal Gazette after endorsement by King Maha Vajiralongkorn, the law will take effect in January 2025, making Thailand the third country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage, following Taiwan (2019) and Nepal (2023). This legislative milestone grants same-sex couples comprehensive rights, including inheritance, tax benefits, adoption eligibility, and equal legal protections. The Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand (PPAT) played a pivotal role in this achievement, advocating alongside partners such as the Equal Marriage Law Committee, the National Youth Council, and the Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand (RSAT). Since 2018, PPAT contributed to the bill’s technical committee, focusing on grassroots initiatives, engaging marginalised communities, and educating youth on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). From 2021-2023, PPAT provided clinical SRHR services to over 50,000 clients annually through clinics and outreach programs.

Landmark Rulings Advance LGBTIQA+ Rights in South Korea and Hong Kong

South Korea's Supreme Court upheld a landmark ruling recognising a same-sex partner as eligible for spousal benefits under state health insurance, marking a significant milestone for LGBTIQA+ rights. The court affirmed the Seoul High Court’s earlier decision that the National Health Insurance Service must provide equal spousal coverage to So Sung-wook and Kim Yong-min, a gay couple who sued in 2021 after their benefits were revoked. In a similar development, Hong Kong’s top court upheld rulings in November granting subsidised housing benefits and equal inheritance rights to same-sex married couples. The Court of Final Appeal dismissed government appeals, ending yearslong legal battles over discriminatory policies under Hong Kong’s Housing Authority and inheritance laws. The rulings reflect a broader push for equality in the Asia Pacific region, where IPPF Member Associations, such as the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong (FPAHK) and The Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association (KoPHWA), have been instrumental in promoting inclusive sexual and reproductive health services and advocating for equal rights across diverse communities.

New Health Law Extends Legal Window for Abortions in Indonesia

Indonesia implemented a new health law extending the legal window for abortions in rape cases and medical emergencies from 6 to 14 weeks, a response to urgent calls from activists and healthcare practitioners. While the law aims to address Indonesia's high maternal mortality rate—among the highest in Southeast Asia—it also grants police sole authority to approve abortions. This shift raises concerns about increased barriers for survivors, particularly given the stigma surrounding abortion. The National Commission on Violence Against Women highlights that many women face challenges accessing safe abortions due to inadequate information, insufficient victim support, and disparities linked to socioeconomic status, education, geography, and cultural or religious beliefs. IPPF Member Association, the Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (IPPA/PKBI), is critical in bridging these gaps. Through 25 static clinics, mobile outreach programs, and digital platforms like PKBI-Care, they provide essential sexual and reproductive health services to remote areas, ensuring equitable access for all.

Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+30 Review

The Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+30 Review in Bangkok, Thailand, brought together ministers, civil society organisations, youth groups, academia, and other stakeholders to assess progress, address gaps, and set priorities for gender equality and women’s rights. As the global community approaches the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) and the 10th anniversary of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, challenges such as discriminatory norms, gender-based violence, unpaid care burdens, and limited investments in gender equality remain significant. At IPPF’s side event, “Women’s Rights at Risk: Reflections on the Left Behind,” co-hosted with the Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand and the Asia Pacific Alliance for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, discussions emphasised the need for inclusive policies focused on marginalised communities. Meanwhile, “Shifting Narratives,” co-hosted with One Future Collective and ILGA Asia, during the CSO Forum, engaged 50 activists to explore strategies to challenge anti-gender ideologies shaped by traditional, religious, and nationalist frameworks, fostering solutions to empower the feminist movement.

IPPF-AIBD Partnership: Empowering Media to Tackle Reproductive Justice and Disinformation

As reproductive justice faces unprecedented global challenges, the role of media in fostering informed understanding and ethical discourse is more crucial than ever. Disinformation and anti-rights movements threaten media integrity and democracy, disproportionately impacting marginalised communities. IPPF ESEAOR, in partnership with the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD), developed a guide to support media professionals in addressing these issues. The guide provides insights to navigate the complexities of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) amid rising right-wing policies and disinformation campaigns. This initiative builds on a three-day online training for 50 journalists from 17 countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, on ethical reporting and SRHRJ content production. At the Asia Media Summit, where 400 regional and global media professionals convened, IPPF played a strategic role in shaping conversations on SRHRJ and fostering ethical and inclusive media coverage in a regional workshop for journalists from Asia Pacific.

Japan's Supreme Court Rules Forced Sterilisation Unconstitutional, Orders State Compensation

Japan’s Supreme Court ruled that practices under the now-defunct eugenics law were unconstitutional. This ruling is a monumental win for the plaintiffs and the 25,000 others affected. The court rejected the government's 20-year statute of limitations argument, deeming it irrelevant in this case and setting an important precedent for survivors to come forward. The Eugenic Protection Law (EPL), in place from 1948 to 1996, allowed authorities to forcibly sterilise people with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions, hereditary diseases, and leprosy. The law was repealed in 1996 after activists highlighted forced sterilisations at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, emphasising that reproductive rights are human rights and underscoring the need for bodily autonomy. This ruling offers long-awaited recognition for survivors, reinforcing the principle of accountability for human rights violations and advancing justice for systemic abuse.

Tuvalu Sets Benchmark, Spotlight on Regional Cervical Cancer Elimination Efforts

Tuvalu achieved a historic milestone as the first Pacific nation to surpass the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global goal of screening over 70% of women for cervical cancer. This success was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Tuvalu Family Health Association, supported by Family Planning Australia, the Tuvalu Ministry of Health, the Australian government, WHO, Cepheid, and the Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer. A dedicated local team underwent training and braved challenging sea journeys to remote islands, ensuring access to life-saving screenings for all women. By prioritising home visits as a service delivery model, the association reached up to 64% of marginalised communities, providing critical health services to those who might otherwise have been unreachable. With innovative self-testing swabs and a community-driven approach, Tuvalu meets global targets and sets new standards in women’s health worldwide.

Humanitarian Response along the Thailand-Myanmar Border

Myanmar's internal conflict and humanitarian crisis have displaced over 1.9 million people due to safety and security concerns. Refugees along the Thailand-Myanmar border face immense challenges, with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) often overlooked. Makeshift camps in the border region have created fragile living conditions, increasing the vulnerability of refugees, particularly women and girls. The remote locations of these camps make access to essential SRH services—such as family planning, maternal care, and safe childbirth facilities—extremely difficult. Social and cultural stigmas further deter refugees from seeking care at reproductive health clinics. To extend reproductive health information and services within temporary shelters, the Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand (PPAT) acts as a referral centre for health and reproductive services specifically tailored for survivors of gender-based violence. Its primary focus is delivering reproductive health services to the displaced population along the border.

Meeting SRH Needs of Communities Affected by Floods and Landslides in Indonesia

Floods hit West Sumatra and Central Java in March, causing seven districts to be submerged and landslides at several points. On 17 March 2024, the Ministry of Health (MoH) Crisis Centre reported that more than 18,000 houses were impacted by the flood, with 318,943 people affected and over 89,571 displaced. In addition, main roads and several secondary roads were inaccessible, impacting affected populations’ access to health services. There was an urgent need to support the restoration of health services for those in need, including pregnant women, post-natal mothers, newborns, adolescents, the elderly, and vulnerable groups. The Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association’s (IPPA/PKBI) action was quick, mobilising the team to participate in the needs assessment and collecting public donations, which resulted in the distribution of 120 kits as its initial response. IPPA provided sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services through an SRH tent (static clinic) and a mobile clinic in each district. The response exceeded its target, reaching 17,201 people.

Looking Ahead to 2025: Standing Firm in the Face of Challenges

As we approach 2025, the year presents significant challenges for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). A direct consequence of the recent U.S. presidential election will be the reimposition of the expanded Global Gag Rule in January. For over 40 years, this policy has been imposed by Republican presidents and rescinded by Democratic presidents. Its most recent iteration under President Trump (2017–2021) required non-U.S.-based NGOs to cease abortion service delivery and advocacy using funds from any source as a condition for receiving U.S. global health funds.

IPPF and its Member Associations remain steadfast in their commitment to SRHR and will not comply with the Global Gag Rule. Instead, IPPF will publicly oppose its reimposition, reaffirming its dedication to reproductive rights.

“In the face of these challenges, solidarity among SRHR actors is more vital than ever to protect essential services. Addressing inequalities across gender, socioeconomic status, race, and geography requires prioritising the needs of marginalised communities. Access to SRHR is a matter of equity, justice, and fundamental human rights,” added Tomoko Fukuda, IPPF ESEAOR Regional Director.

Together, we will continue to confront barriers, champion human rights, and work toward a future where SRHR is accessible to all.
