FWI is a U.S.-based Christian lobbying group opposing abortion, contraception, and LGBTQ+ rights. It operates internationally, including in Africa, via UN consultative status.
The Trump administration has broadened restrictions on U.S. funding for overseas organizations that address abortion-related issues, potentially affecting up to $30 billion in aid. The move builds on years of activism by U.S. anti-abortion groups, with Africa receiving the most attention as reports detail increased harassment of reproductive-rights workers and rising fears of unsafe abortions.
