The global population is growing rapidly and also faces challenges. From poverty and economic instability to maternal health and environmental decline, the world's population growth is putting a strain on our planet's resources.
World Population Day is as a quick note to work together to face these challenges and create a better future for all. This highlights the giving importance of women and girls and also giving them the same opportunities as men and boys.
If women and girls have educated then they can get healthcare and economic opportunities. They can also raise themselves and their families. We can stop or limit the population by raising awareness and by supporting policies and programs that promote gender equality.
World Population Day is celebrated on July 11. According to United Nations, the theme for this year's World Population Day is - Gender equality is important for a sustainable and prosperous future.
World Population Day is celebrated on July 11. The United Nations in 1989, established an event following the guidance of Dr KC Zachariah, who suggested the day to raise awareness of global population issues.
