Gynuity envisions a world in which each individual has access to safe and effective reproductive and maternal health care—delivered where, when, and how needed.
It is our mission to develop scientific, clinical and programmatic evidence in reproductive and maternal health and to advocate for its use, assuring that each individual benefits from the fruits of medical science and technology. We do this on a global scale through research, strategic partnerships, and communications for impact.

(Staff emails are listed in our website’s staff directory.) If you want to leave a message in our attended general mailbox, please send it to pubinfo@gynuity.org.
Our Approach
Gynuity listens to women, providers and policymakers, and works with them to create services that are safe, high quality, and person-centered. Through conversations and active collaborations, we use research to fill evidence gaps for new models of care, influence change, and advocate for improvements in policy and practice.
Research
Our research demonstrates that simple, safe, and effective reproductive and maternal health technologies transform lives and improve outcomes for women and girls.
Policy and Practice
Through speaking, convening partners, and publishing our research, we create the synergies that trigger change in policy and practice.
Communications for Impact
Strategic communications increase the impact of our research and programmatic findings.

In case you missed it- check out this 15 minute video by Angela M. Hill and Karen Rodriguez on the history of mifepristone policy in the U.S. featuring Gynuity president Beverly Winikoff. The video investigates baseless FDA restrictions as well as claims that overstate the danger of the drug. It’s a great refresher on the many barriers to MA access and the burden this puts onto abortion-seekers and care providers.

Beverly was also featured in an episode of the podcast series Self Managed: An Abortion Story that interviews diverse perspectives on self managed abortion.
