On January 24, 2025, President Trump reinstated the global gag rule, rolling back reproductive health and rights across the globe.
The global gag rule blocks U.S. foreign assistance to organizations providing or advocating for legal abortion services. Many essential health services, such as HIV prevention and treatment, contraception, and family care, integrate comprehensive abortion-related services. As a result, the global gag rule impacts those seeking all types of health-related care, leaving them without access to life-saving information and services, and severely impacting reproductive health and overall bodily autonomy.
Explore the infographic to learn more about how the global gag rule affects communities, who has been most impacted, and what we need to do to press forward for lasting change.
