Be there for every woman and girl, no matter what
WHAT SUPPORTING UNFPA MEANS TO ME
“As a former nurse, I understand the nuances of women’s health; both emotional and physical health. Access to some simple things can make such a difference, and if the funds are there and interventions are there, a world of difference can be made.” – Denise Caron-Quinn, USA for UNFPA Board Member

WHAT WE DO
We believe that women’s rights are human rights – and we are working hard to ensure that they are protected as such. Here are our areas of work:
Empowering Women to Plan Their Pregnancies
Worldwide half of all pregnancies are unintended. That’s why we’re distributing critical family planning services – contraception, counseling services, comprehensive reproductive health care, and more – throughout the world.
In 2021 alone, we helped prevent 12.7 million unintended pregnancies through our services.
Keeping Motherhood Safe
Every two minutes a woman dies during pregnancy or childbirth from a cause that could be prevented. Every day, this amounts to over 800 needless deaths. That’s why we’re working around the world to ensure that women have the care they need to survive pregnancy and childbirth – especially in areas torn apart by conflict.
In 2021 alone, we helped to deliver 1.5 million babies in fragile settings and prevented 39,000 maternal deaths through UNFPA-supplied contraception.
Protecting Women and Girls
Globally, 1 in 3 women have experienced violence, including harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation. Survivors of violence can suffer sexual and reproductive health consequences, including unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, traumatic fistula, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, and even death. And all too often violence is tolerated or carried out by the people a woman loves and trusts most: her partner or her family.
We advocate for policies that protect women’s health and rights and further gender equality – and we support survivors of violence with medical care, legal aid, mental health counseling, and safe housing.
Delivering care in Emergencies
When crisis strikes, women and girls are among the MOST vulnerable. We work closely with local communities to ensure that the reproductive health of women and girls is sustained during emergency responses.
We help deliver menstrual hygiene supplies, provide safe delivery and family planning services, and deploy trained personnel to support women and girls during vulnerable times.
