What if you couldn’t make any life choices?
Published on: 10/07/2025
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.

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.
