Six Months In: How the Trump Administration Is Undermining Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Globally

ChaseAugust 17, 2025

Since January 2025, the Trump administration has undertaken a sweeping and ideologically driven rollback of human rights protections, with particularly grave consequences for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally. The administration has drastically cut funding to international health programs, withdrawn from key multilateral institutions and agreements, and advanced an agenda that is overtly opposed to human rights, particularly those advancing gender and reproductive autonomy. These actions not only threaten access to essential health services for millions of people—particularly in low- and middle-income countries—but also undermine international cooperation and accountability in advancing the rights and health of women, girls and marginalized communities.
