📰 What Colombia Can Teach the Global SRHR Community
Just two months out from ICFP 2025, the Family Planning News Network (FPNN) led a powerful reporting trip across Colombia to showcase the country’s SRHR leadership. Twelve international journalists traveled from deserts to jungles, cities to coasts — documenting the innovation, equity, and community strength that define Colombia’s approach to SRHR.
These stories reveal a clear lesson: community-driven, equity-focused approaches are transforming lives.
