Population growth stretches natural resources to their limits.
Deforestation, food and water shortages, and climate change are all intensified by the addition of nearly 80 million people a year to the world's population.
According to the United Nations, the global population could be as high as 11 billion in 2050 or as low as 8 billion, if the right programs are put in place now.
There are 200 million women around the world who would like to delay or end childbearing but have no access to modern contraception.
Population Connection works with Congress to ensure that the United States is doing everything in its power to help women become empowered, active members of their communities.
From fighting to end federal funding for failed abstinence-only sex education programs in the U.S., to urging Congress to appropriate $1 billion for international family planning, Population Connection stands behind women's right to make the best choices for themselves and their families.
