The UCSF Bixby Center works to ensure that women, men and adolescents have the power to manage their health, including access to safe and effective birth control, abortion, childbirth, and prevention and care for sexually transmitted infections. Our rigorous research generates evidence that we translate into better health policies and clinical care. We are proud to be the only interdisciplinary research center on reproductive health, leading studies on often-controversial issues that impact women around the world. 

The Bixby Center believes that reproductive and sexual health is core to everyone’s wellbeing. We agree with the World Health Organization that reproductive and sexual health is a basic human right.
