Overarching Message for 2015

The Power of People

The power of people to exercise their rights and make choices will determine the health and well-being of present and future generations. UNFPA empowers all women and young people to exercise their rights and fully engage in society, at all times, everywhere. Solid data holds us all accountable for delivering this vision.

Young People

‘Putting young people at the heart of development'

The new development agenda is an opportunity for young people to count as never before, to be empowered to claim their rights, meet their needs and realize their aspirations.

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, including Family Planning

‘Choices Not Chance'

Access to sexual and reproductive health – including contraception or family planning and maternal health – for all women and young people is a human right and critical to saving lives, advancing development and promoting gender equality. It must be the core of sustainable development

Humanitarian/Emergencies

‘Dignity, safety and reproductive health for all women and girls in all circumstances

Women and girls are more vulnerable in emergencies and have specific needs that are often ignored in crises. They need services for safe pregnancy and childbirth, and protection from gender violence. Securing their safety and ensuring their dignity and health promotes the well-being of families and communities.
