World Population Day is observed on July 11 every year. It was established by the United Nations in 1989 to raise awareness of global population issues. The day is also used to promote the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD).
The ICPD was held in Cairo in 1994 and was attended by over 170 countries. The conference adopted a Programme of Action that called for a comprehensive approach to population and development. The Programme of Action emphasized the need to address population issues in a way that promotes human rights, gender equality, and sustainable development.
World Population Day is an opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made in addressing population issues and to recommit to the goals of the ICPD. It is also a time to raise awareness of the challenges that remain, such as poverty, gender inequality, and environmental degradation.
