The United Nations Population Fund, also known as UNFPA, is the U.N. agency dedicated to sexual and reproductive health and rights. For decades, anti-choice politicians in the U.S. Congress and White House have attempted to restrict or eliminate the agency’s funding. From 2017 to 2021, the Trump administration withheld all funding to UNFPA, a decision that was reversed by President Biden in a January 2021 presidential memorandum.
UNFPA works to advance sexual and reproductive health care in more than 150 countries around the world. This is approximately three times the number of nations that the U.S. government supports through its bilateral family planning and reproductive health programs, including many contexts where the United States does not or cannot directly engage. Therefore, investing in UNFPA extends the reach of U.S. funds, complements U.S. family planning and reproductive health programs and bolsters U.S. global health and gender equality goals, such as decreasing maternal mortality and morbidity and preventing child marriage.
Congress must reaffirm the U.S. partnership with UNFPA by passing the Support UNFPA Funding Act.
