The gender focused program area of Ford Foundation is dedicated to strengthening sexual and reproductive health and rights, and encouraging comprehensive sexuality education and evidence-based public discourse on sexuality. The Foundation supports sexual and reproductive health policies, innovative programs and research that address the social, cultural and economic factors that undermine improved outcomes for girls and women. The efforts particularly focus on young women from poor and excluded communities because they bear the greatest burden of violence and disease.
