Global – Advancing sexual and reproductive health through curriculum reform: reflections and learnings
Summary
On October 1, 2026, FIGO reported that its two-year Collaborate for Women: Abortion and Contraception Care Together initiative is nearing the end of phase two. The program has sought to expand competency-based education in family planning and comprehensive abortion care, while strengthening cooperation between obstetrician-gynecologists and midwives. Five national professional societies participated: organizations in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Nepal, and Sierra Leone. FIGO says the initiative produced lessons for curriculum reform and improving sexual and reproductive-health services.

Biblical Context
The article concerns abortion, contraception, family planning, and sexual and reproductive-health training. Scripture does not directly address modern contraceptive methods, professional curricula, or national health programs, so those aspects should not be treated as explicit biblical subjects. However, abortion and sexual conduct connect materially to biblical teachings about human life in the womb and sexual holiness. Psalm 139:13-16 describes God’s knowledge and formation of a person in the womb, while Luke 1:41-44 presents the unborn John as a participant in a significant human encounter. These passages provide a biblical basis for treating unborn life as morally significant, though they do not by themselves settle every medical, legal, or policy question. First Thessalonians 4:3-5 addresses sexual conduct and self-control, providing a broader biblical framework relevant to sexual ethics. No specific prophetic passage or identifiable prophetic pattern is supported by this routine curriculum and professional-capacity initiative.
