They focus on improving health services for women and girls, increasing their access to services, and expanding their sexual⁠ (sexual: About or relating in some way to sex or sexuality.) and reproductive rights⁠ (reproductive rights: Legal or practical rights and freedoms relating to sex, reproduction, and reproductive health.

They also partner⁠ (partner: In a sexual context, a person with whom someone is having some kind of sex. The term "partner" can be used for all kinds of relationships, not just serious ones. "Partner" can also mean the person someone is with in a romantic or familial partnership.) with community-based organizations to educate women and their communities on their rights, and advocate for legal abortion⁠ (abortion: A procedure to intentionally end a pregnancy before a birth. Miscarriage is also sometimes called "spontaneous abortion," even though it is usually not intended.) and support local champions for abortion rights.
