UNFPA Speaker Edward Wright 鈥 鈥淕lobal Population: Letting Human Rights Drive Development鈥
Global population is a field where human rights rule.  Enabling each woman to plan how many children she has, and then to give birth safely, is a pathway that nearly every developed society has undergone in its progression to its current state.  And yet in the developing world almost 300 thousand women still die giving birth each year, and more than 220 million women are not able to access modern family planning. These challenges lie at the heart of the work of the United Nations Population Fund, striving to deliver a world wherever pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person can reach their potential. 

The United Nations has just agreed on a course of action to bring about sustainable development for the next 15 years, and UNFPA's work is at its core. This presentation will illustrate how the individual rights of today's women and 1.8 billion young people are one of the most vital factors in determining the wellbeing of the world tomorrow.
