Empowering youth to build the families they want
World Population Day 2025 (11 July) focuses on empowering the largest youth generation in history to create the families they want in a fair and hopeful world. Although global fertility rates are declining, the real crisis lies in the lack of reproductive agency: too many people are unable to realize their fertility goals because of economic uncertainty, gender inequality and limited healthcare. Access to sexual and reproductive health and rights is vital for a sustainable future. Let’s build a world where everyone dreaming of parenthood is given the hope and support to bring that dream to life!
