This year’s World Population Day, 11 July, reaffirms the right of people to plan their families. It encourages activities, events and information that will help make this right real – especially for those who often have the hardest time getting the information and services they need to plan their families, such as marginalised populations and young people.
When people can plan their families, they can plan their lives. They can plan to beat poverty. They can plan on healthier mothers and children. They can plan to gain equality for women.
World Population Day will be celebrated in more than 100 countries around the world with e.g. marches, seminars, panels, parties, parliamentarian involvement, concert, contests and conferences.
