Our world of eight billion: what does it mean for women’s rights?

This event marked the launch of the flagship report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the sexual and reproductive health agency of the United Nations. ‘The State of World Population’ examines the frequently expressed concerns that there are either too many or too few people in the world. With the human population having recently surpassed eight billion, UNFPA has investigated governments, media and the general public think about population growth and the implications that related policies and opinions could have for the rights of women and girls. The report’s findings make a powerful argument that all population policies must start with protecting reproductive rights and choices – our shared future depends on it.
