What if you couldn’t make any life choices?

Imagine waking up in a world where your voice is silenced – by other people, or by fear.

A world where your choices are made for you and your body is not your own.

For too many women and girls, this isn’t fiction. It’s just everyday life.

This World Population Day, join UNFPA—the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency—to help ensure that every woman and girl enjoys the freedom to make her own choices.
