Mission Statement
Rutgers WPF is a renowned expert centre on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Its activities are carried out mainly in Asia, Africa and the Netherlands. Its aim is to improve sexual and reproductive health throughout the world, focusing its work on young people, women and disadvantaged groups like the disabled, young offenders and ethnic minorities. Rutgers WPF supports partner organisations in their work, increasing their expertise in sexuality, and increasing their capacity to make a sustainable impact.
History of operations in Vietnam
Rutgers WPF was created by a merger of the World Population Foundation (WPF) and the Rutgers Nisso Groep on 1st January 2011. WPF, the forerunner of Rutgers WPF in Vietnam, has been promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights in the country since 1995, and has had an office in Hanoi since 2000. The inspiration of the Rutgers Nisso Groep is from Jan Rutgers, a pioneer in the field of sexuality and contraceptives in Rotterdam as early as 1892. Rutgers WPF commits to continue to work on issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
