CAC Conclave: Ipas Development Foundation (IDF), is dedicated to strengthening women’s access to Comprehensive Abortion Care (CAC) in India. CAC Conclave is IDF’s endeavour to create a wider community of advocates for comprehensive abortion care in India.
The objective of CAC Conclave is to provide a national platform for diverse voices for sharing their experiences and building a cohesive network of concerned advocates. Through CAC Conclave, we engage with an expanded group of academicians, NGOs, researchers, lawyers, service providers etc., and expand the discourse on the subject. CAC Conclave also provides online and offline networking and learning opportunities to the members and ultimately contributes to the cause of reducing unsafe abortions in India.
