This Planned Parenthood Global report, “Assessing the Global Gag Rule: Harms to Health, Communities, and Advocacy” analyzes the impacts of the U.S. Global Gag Rule—a policy that restricts foreign NGOs from providing, referring, or advocating for abortion-related services in order to receive U.S. global health funding. The assessment documents how the rule disrupts essential sexual and reproductive health services, undermines community-level care and advocacy, and weakens health systems across affected countries. It highlights the broader consequences for family planning access, maternal health outcomes, and civil society engagement, while offering evidence and insights to inform policymakers, advocates, and global health stakeholders
