Advocates for Youth needs your help to permanently repeal the Global Gag Rule!
Advocates for Youth and partner organizations have launched a campaign calling for permanent repeal of the Global Gag Rule. The Rule has been used to deny U.S. aid to foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide legal abortion services, including medical counseling and referrals, or advocate for abortion law reform in their own countries. Although President Obama ended the Global Gag Rule during his first week in office, without Congressional action a future administration could reinstate the rule.
