Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the International Federation of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (FIGIJ) and to share with you the remarkable progress our global community has achieved over the past several years.
Since 2023, FIGIJ has continued to grow and strengthen its presence worldwide, now connecting members and affiliated societies across more than 70 countries. This expansion reflects not only our shared commitment to advancing pediatric and adolescent gynecology, but also the power of collaboration across regions, disciplines, and cultures.
Our work has been guided by a strong spirit of partnership. We have deepened collaborations with leading international organizations, including WHO, FIGO, and United Nations agencies, contributing to global initiatives and policy discussions that impact adolescent health. At the same time, we have continued to support regional societies and foster meaningful engagement at international congresses and scientific meetings.
Education remains at the heart of FIGIJ’s mission. Through webinars, training programs, and the expansion of IFEPAG-certified centers, we are building capacity and supporting the next generation of specialists worldwide. Our educational resources, publications, and new platforms such as the Case Corner are helping to disseminate knowledge and improve clinical practice globally.
We are also proud of our advocacy efforts, particularly in advancing reproductive justice, comprehensive sexuality education, and adolescent health rights. These initiatives reflect our responsibility not only as clinicians and researchers, but also as advocates for the wellbeing of young people everywhere.
None of this would be possible without the dedication of our Executive Board, committees, partners, and members. Your commitment, expertise, and collaboration continue to drive FIGIJ forward.
As we look ahead to the upcoming World Congress and the next chapter of FIGIJ’s work, I am confident that together we will continue to expand our impact and strengthen our global community.
Thank you for being part of this important mission.
With warm regards,
Dr. Yasmin Jayasinghe
President, FIGIJ
