Sweeping global gains in sexual and reproductive health and rights over the last thirty years are marred by an ugly truth – millions of women and girls have not benefited because of who they are or where they were born, according to the 2024 State of World Population report.

The UNFPA Regional Office for the Arab States and the UNFPA Country Office in Egypt will launch the report, commemorating International Population Day and the launch of the Arab Media Declaration on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt.

On the occasion of World Population Day, a panel discussion will be held on “Accelerating achievements and leveraging investments in reproductive health and family planning” based on the findings of the recently launched investment case towards ending unmet need for family planning in Egypt. 

The discussions will explore the interrelationship between health, especially sexual and reproductive health, social protection resilience and financing  to overcome existing inequalities and accelerate the ICPD agenda.

Women are the thread and it requires us to count every stitch to unravel inequalities and build a peaceful and prosperous future for all.
