OUR MISSION

Read the 2025 Revised Statutes and Bylaws

According to the Statutes, the mission of FIGIJ is:

To provide children and young people with the best possible evidence-based gynaecological care, to allow them to achieve their optimal health outcomes, particularly in the areas of sexuality and reproduction, with the integral health of the individual being paramount.

FIGIJ recognises that global events such as those linked to poverty and war often disproportionately affect girls and young women, with resultant child marriage, early childbearing, and sexual assault as a weapon of war.

FIGIJ supports empowering our youth through education, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, and supports strategies that build resilience, especially where there is a history of adverse childhood experiences.

The aims of FIGIJ are:

• To safeguard and improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights of children and adolescents all over the world, and to stand together against racial, religious, political or gender discrimination.
• To promote research, education and development of services in the field of Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology (PAG) worldwide.
• To foster knowledge and cooperation in the field of PAG among members, irrespective of ethnic groups, religion, political or philosophical standpoints.
• To encourage and support involvement in FIGIJ activities for health caregivers coming from developing countries
• To cooperate with other international organisations interested in the sexual health and wellbeing of children and adolescents.
• To promote and encourage FIGIJ participation in international research in the field of PAG
• To foster scientific, cultural and social activities dealing with the gynaecological sexual health of children and adolescents

FIGIJ is a non-profit organization and has no political, religious or other affiliation.

FIGIJ is composed of national organizations dedicated to pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and individual members in countries where it has not yet been possible to form a national organization.
