To increase people’s awareness about various population issues such as the importance of family planning, gender equality, poverty, maternal health, and human rights, World Population Day is celebrated every year on July 11.
The theme this year is based on safeguarding the health and rights of women and girls around the world especially during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
World Population Day was instituted in 1989 as an outgrowth of the Day of Five Billion, marked on July 11, 1987. The UN authorized the event as a vehicle to build an awareness of population issues and the impact they have on development and the environment.
There are several objectives to celebrate World Population Day. The prime objective is to protect and empower youths of both male and female genders about the ill effects of population explosion.
On the occasion of World Population Day, we are sharing quotes, wishes, and sayings to share on the social media:
