STORYLINE:

Observed annually on 11 July since 1989, World Population Day focuses attention on the importance of population issues in the context of development plans and programs, and the need to find solutions for these issues.

The theme for this year's day is 'Universal Access to Reproductive Health Services,' aimed at highlighting the essential part that reproductive health plays in creating a just and equitable world.

According to United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), reproductive health problems remain the leading cause of ill health and death for women of childbearing age worldwide. Some 222 million women who would like to avoid or delay pregnancy lack access to effective family planning, while nearly 800 women die every day in the process of giving life.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for more to be done to help those who most need access to reproductive health care.

"I call for urgent concerted action by Member States to bridge the gap between demand and supply for reproductive health care," Ban said in a message to mark the Day.
