Our growing community

In 2025, we welcomed 171 new members. We are now supporting, connecting, and providing spaces and resources to more than 2,900 changemakers leading transformative abortion justice movements in 130 countries.

Our members are made up of abortion justice collectives, activists, community workers, researchers, abortion providers, funders, grassroots groups, and more—powering the resilient abortion justice movement needed to make long-lasting change worldwide.

Our Approaches in Practice: Highlights from 2025

Our approaches are deeply interconnected. Many of our initiatives intentionally sit at the intersection of community resourcing, solidarity and power building,  amplifying & shifting power and narratives.  This integrated approach allows us to respond holistically to the needs and vision of abortion justice movements.

Feminist Co-Creation for Abortion Justice Fellowship

We launched our 2025-2026 Fellowship, engaging and resourcing inroads members to co-create feminist learning tools that document how abortion stigma is being dismantled across our network. The fellowship offers financial support,  mentorship, and collective learning spaces for fellows to shape participatory resources grounded in lived experience and community wisdom. Learn more.

SWANA Reproductive Justice Gathering

Grounded in our commitment to resource the communities leading stigma-busting reproductive justice work and power-building & solidarity spaces, inroads co-funded a recent in-person reproductive justice convening organized by members of the A Project (Lebanon) that brought together organizers and movement leaders from diverse territories across the SWANA region. To share the leanings to our wider network,  we co-hosted a sharing-back  space exploring what reproductive justice looks like across SWANA, grounded in the political realities of colonialism, displacement, racism, and structural violence.

Our Stories, Our Power: Amplifying Our Movements’ Wisdom

In partnership with RFSU, we launched Our Stories, Our Power, a global community workbook capturing tools and strategies to dismantle stigma across contexts. The process created a powerful space for storytelling and co-creation—bridging personal narratives and collective action.

Global Day of Action to Destigmatize Abortions – March 28

In March 2025, inroads coordinated the second annual Global Day of Action to Destigmatize Abortions, mobilizing reproductive justice movements worldwide to shift narratives and demand stigma-free abortion care.

The campaign brought together 37 co-convenors and 186 partner organizations, reaching over 4.3 million people globally. By sharing collectively gathered resources via march28.org, this effort supported local organizing in multiple languages and strengthened a growing global movement committed to dignity, care, and bodily autonomy for all. 💚

Digital Rights & Reproductive Justice Convening

At the Global Gathering, we brought together abortion-justice organizers, digital-rights defenders, and feminist tech practitioners to confront how censorship and surveillance are reshaping access to care. Participants identified shared needs and priorities, laying the groundwork for stronger cross-movement infrastructure and narrative power.  Learn more.

Feminist Pathways to Reproductive Justice at the Global Artivism Conference

At the Global Artivism Conference, inroads co-organized Forging Feminist Pathways to Reproductive Justice with Everystory Sri Lanka, Bloco Ay Que Alívio!, and Instituto Lamparina. From turning research into stories that connect to bringing joyful abortion narratives to life through music and carnival, this space explored how artivism and creative storytelling can dismantle stigma and shift narratives. Grounded in our commitment to community resourcing, we funded an Inroads member participation for this space. Learn more.

Feminist Technology & Creative Tools for Movement Power

Challenging Algorithmic Censorship: AlgoSpeak

We spotlighted the global scale of algorithmic suppression impacting sexual and reproductive rights, activating participants to contribute directly to Algospeak.net—a crowdsourced glossary of alternative language used to resist automated takedowns and shadowbans.

At RightsCon 2025, inroads co-led a hybrid session exploring how algorithmic censorship on major platforms silences SRHR and abortion-related content, and how practices like AlgoSpeak emerge in response—often disproportionately impacting marginalized communities.

Keeping Movements Safe Online

In partnership with Vitala Global, we released a practical and concise digital security guide equipping abortion-justice activists with accessible tools to navigate surveillance and censorship—transforming individual risks into collective resilience and shared practices of care. Learn more.

Co-Created Digital Security Oracle Deck

We transformed digital security into a collective, creative practice by co-building an open-access Oracle Deck grounded in generations of abortion-movement wisdom. Piloted at the Global Gathering for Digital Rights, dozens of new cards were co-created, strengthening shared strategies and expanding a movement-led tool for accessible, holistic digital safety check-ins.

Movement Spaces & Global Convenings

Abortion & Reproductive Justice Conference (ARJC) 2026 – Organizing Committee

In 2025, inroads joined the ARJC 2026 Organizing Committee, taking an active role in shaping this major global convening grounded in the Reproductive Justice framework. Coordinated by MAMA Network, ARJC will take place in Kenya in 2026.

Global Safe Abortion Dialogue (GSAD) Partnership

For multiple years, including 2025, inroads has partnered with and actively participated in the Global Safe Abortion Dialogue (GSAD), bringing together advocates, policymakers, and funders to strengthen collective action on abortion rights and access.

WHO CSO Commission Membership

In 2025, inroads became a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) CSO Commission, contributing civil society expertise to the development of more inclusive, stigma-free global frameworks for abortion access and care grounded in reproductive justice.

Active Participation at Key Convenings

In August 2025, inroads joined over 50 advocates from across the Global South at the SAIGE Convention, strengthening collective efforts to reclaim the right to safe abortion through a deeply participatory process.

In December 2025, inroads participated in RECONFERENCE, a global feminist convening organized by CREA that brought together movements, artists, scholars, and organizers to rethink strategies and narratives amid intensifying backlash.

In 2025, we also engaged in key feminist funder spaces, including EDGE Funders Alliance and the WFN Feminist Funding Conference 2025. These spaces supported strategic dialogue on sustainably resourcing movements and on building partnerships to continue holding space for abortion justice movements with care, accountability, and resilience.

How We Lead & Care for the Work

In 2025, we completed our second year operating with a transnational co-leadership structure, rooted in feminist, non-hierarchical, and participatory decision-making. This collective leadership ecosystem was further strengthened with the addition of three new Board members, whose experience and perspectives reinforce inroads’ commitment to shared power, accountability, and movement-led governance.

These practices shape how inroads holds and supports stigma-busting work across contexts—ensuring our strategies are accountable, shared, and grounded in our diverse communities. 

At the same time, we expanded in-house feminist tech and tools to support collective safety, sustainability, and resilience—recognizing that stigma-busting work increasingly happens under digital risk.

With Gratitude and Commitment

None of this work would be possible without the commitment of our members and partners. In 2025, inroads strengthened core relationships and built powerful new partnerships across the social and reproductive justice ecosystem, fueling collective action at a moment when it matters most.

As anti-rights forces grow louder and more coordinated, especially against feminist movements advancing deeply stigmatized rights like abortion, our aim is for our community to continue to grow stronger, more connected, and more resilient.

We are deeply grateful to the members, funders, and partners working with us for a future where abortion freedom and reproductive justice are possible everywhere. 💚

We look forward to continuing to shape this powerful stigma-busting community together.

In solidarity and appreciation,
The inroads team
