The Margaret Sanger Award was an honor awarded annually by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America from 1966 to 2015.[1] Created to honor the legacy of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, it is the Federation's highest honor. It is given to individuals to recognize excellence and leadership in the reproductive health and rights movement. Although it is identified as an annual award, it hasn't been given out and since 2015.[citation needed]
