12032015_ECSP_UNFPA State of World
More than 100 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance – more than at any time since the end of the Second World War. Among those displaced by conflict or uprooted by disaster are an estimated 26 million women and adolescent girls in their childbearing years. The State of World Population 2015 is a call to action to meet their needs and protect their rights.
The surfeit of crisis and upheaval around the world today demands better economic and social development, better humanitarian action, better risk management, better attention to prevention, preparedness and resilience, and better connections among all of these. And running through them is a common thread: gender and all other forms of equality, achieved in part through full realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights, which will lead to far less vulnerability and much greater resilience for individuals and societies as a whole. Join us for this critical look at the investments and actions needed to build girls’ and women’s agency and the resilience of communities and nations in the face of global crises.
This event is co-sponsored by the United Nations Population Fund.
