In celebration of the 50th anniversary of UNFPA and the 25th of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, this book showcases the "change makers" who have made substantial contributions to sexual and reproductive health and rights, and population and development more broadly. The purpose of this book is to give some sense of how much has been achieved through the efforts of so many - and perhaps to offer inspiration for the future.
