Nordic Union for Fertility Awareness (NUFA)
Code of Ethics

NUFA is an organ for certified Fertility Awareness Educators in the Nordic countries and beyond, teaching and promoting access to natural fertility management and body literacy.
NUFA encourages empowerment through knowledge of the menstrual cycle as a vital sign, and promotes the right to informed choice around options in reproductive healthcare, contraception and fertility.
NUFA as an organisation acts from a non-profit value base, and works for a common cause rather than individual goals.

Vision and mission statement

NUFA envisions a world where all people are initiated into the workings of their reproductive bodies at their respective coming of age, as a means of creating a nurturing and respectful relationship with their bodies, the bodies of other beings, and to nature.
We strive to contribute to a society where people celebrate their intelligent, social and reactive bodies, interpreting their signals as information.
We envision body literacy and Fertility Awareness as human rights, skills and tools for the individual to better attend to their body’s needs, thus attaining increased public health and wellbeing.
