Ibis Reproductive Health is a non-governmental research organization that drives change through bold, rigorous research and principled partnerships that advance sexual and reproductive autonomy, choices, and health worldwide. We believe that research can catalyze change when the entire research process is viewed as an opportunity to shift power, is undertaken in partnership with the communities most affected, and includes focus on how data can be most effectively used to make change. We focus on increasing access to quality abortion care, transforming access to abortion and contraception through technology and service innovations, and expanding comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services. Our staff is located in Cambridge, MA (headquarters); Johannesburg, South Africa; and Oakland, CA.Website: http://www.ibisreproductivehealth.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IbisReproductiveHealthTwitter: https://twitter.com/IbisRHCategory: Reproductive Rights (including abortion and contraception)Internship description: Interns at Ibis Reproductive Health contribute to ongoing domestic or global sexual and reproductive health research projects.
