World Population Day 2023

Unleashing the power of gender equality: Uplifting the voices of women and girls to unlock our world’s infinite possibilities

What women and girls want matters.

They make up 49.7 per cent of the global population, yet women and girls are often ignored in discussions on demographics, with their rights violated in population policies. The result is a world that excludes and marginalizes half the population of the planet – a problem that will prevent all of us from experiencing a more prosperous, peaceful and sustainable future.

国际青年日

12.1亿。根据2020年联合国世界青年报告的估计，这是地球上15-24岁青年人的数量，他们占全球人口的15.5%。

为了让他们将要继承的世界变得更美好，这个具有社会意识的群体释放了他们的集体意志和力量，大声疾呼要求公司和政府解决从性别、种族和社会经济不平等到气候变化等问题。无需等待邀请或许可，青年活动家们可以召集他们的同龄人，发起并推动运动，将忠诚转移到与他们的价值观一致的实体，号召政治领导人，挑战现状，帮助塑造他们想要生活的世界——一个所有人都能繁荣发展的世界。
