What if you couldn’t make any life choices?

July 10, 2025

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.

Demographic Futures Thematic Fund

The Demographic Futures Thematic Fund (formerly the Population Data Thematic Fund) supports countries to anticipate, adapt to and harness demographic change, enabling them to build more resilient, inclusive and sustainable societies. This work depends on robust population data, forward-looking analysis, and policies grounded in human rights and informed choices.
