Are you an American for UNFPA?

Americans for UNFPA believe the health and well-being of women globally should be a greater consideration in United States foreign policy. By investing in women, we invest in a more just and stable world, and so we work to build moral, political and financial support within the U.S. for the work of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund.

Are you one of us? We invite you to test your knowledge of global women's issues. See what you know already about the challenges facing women globally, and if you find that you're one of the many Americans who want to make a change, declare yourself an American for UNFPA or visit our website to learn more:
