About us

JOICFP is a Japan-based international NGO that promotes the fundamental human right of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), as well as gender equality, women’s empowerment, and individual agency. Established in 1968, JOICFP grew out of a desire to share Japan’s strategies for success in family planning and maternal and child health after World War II, emphasizing a preventative, community-based approach. Since then, we have expanded our scope in both mission and geography. In over 40 countries across the globe, we have supported women and girls who suffer from SRH and gender disparities through efforts to protect their right to make informed decisions regarding their own sexuality, reproduction, and wellbeing.
