FIGO is a professional membership organisation that brings together more than 130 obstetrical and gynaecological associations from all over the world. FIGO’s vision is that women of the world achieve the highest possible standards of physical, mental, reproductive and sexual health and wellbeing throughout
their lives. Our work to achieve this vision is built on four pillars: education, research implementation, advocacy and capacity building
FIGO leads on global programme activities, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa and
South East Asia. We advocate on a global stage, especially in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pertaining to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and wellbeing, and non-communicable diseases (SDG3). We also work to raise the status of women and enable their active participation in achieving their reproductive and sexual rights, including through addressing
female-genital mutilation (FGM) and gender-based violence (SDG5).
We also provide education and training for our Member Societies and build capacities of those in
low-resource countries through strengthening leadership, translating and disseminating good practice
and promoting policy dialogues.
FIGO is in official relations with the World Health Organization and a consultative status with
the United Nations.
