UNFPA REPORT PRESENTED IN CANBERRA HIGHLIGHTS SEVERE HEALTH INEQUALITIES FOR
WOMEN AND GIRLS

Wednesday, 14 August 2024, 9:58 am
Press Release: UNFPA

Smith, UNFPA Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, Ged Kearney MP,
Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care and Assistant Minister for
Indigenous Health, Dr Gordon Reid MP, House of Representatives, Sue Shilbury,
CEO of Family Planning Australia, at the event held today in Canberra (13 Aug,
2024) [Photo/Supplied]

Canberra/Bangkok, 13 August 2024 – Millions of women and girls in Asia and the
Pacific face severe sexual and reproductive health risks due to racism, sexism,
and other forms of discrimination despite 30 years of significant global
progress, according to this year’s UNFPA’s State of World Population report.

Presenting the report findings to parliamentarians in Canberra, Australia today,
Mr. Pio Smith, UNFPA Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, said, “In Asia
and the Pacific, we’ve seen progress: child marriage has steadily declined,
adolescent pregnancies have halved, people across the region are living longer
and healthier lives and maternal mortality decline by 61 percent."

“Despite these successes, the rate of progress has slowed and in some cases, it
has stalled altogether. Millions of people, especially the most marginalised,
remain far behind. More often than not, those left behind have the face of a
woman or girl”.

“It is global solidarity that helped the world move forward after Cairo, 30
years ago, and its global solidarity that will help countries renew their
commitment and promise to uphold people’s sexual and reproductive health and
choices by placing them at the centre of population policies.”

> The report "Interwoven Lives, Threads of Hope: Ending Inequalities in Sexual
> and Reproductive Health and Rights" exposes a troubling reality that
> healthcare advancements have largely benefited wealthier women and those from
> ethnic groups with better access to services.

Women and girls with disabilities, migrants and refugees, ethnic minorities,
LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, and those from other marginalized
communities face exacerbated sexual and reproductive health risks and
inequitable access to care. Their vulnerability is further intensified by
climate change, humanitarian crises, and mass migration, which
disproportionately affect women.

UNFPA's State of World Population Report 2024 highlights that wealth, ethnicity,
gender and other identifiers dictate people's freedom of choice, resulting in
millions of people being left behind in the journey towards universal access to
sexual and reproductive health and rights. [Photo/Supplied]

In Asia and the Pacific alone, more than six women die every hour from
preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Less than one in four
sexually active unmarried young people use contraception. Additionally, on
average, half of the women from the Pacific Islands have experienced physical or
sexual violence by an intimate partner at least once in their lifetime.

Australia is a significant supporter of UNFPA, especially during humanitarian
crises. Programmes like Cash Voucher Assistance and Accountability to Affected
Populations have profoundly impacted many lives across the region. By delivering
crucial sexual and reproductive health services in disaster-hit areas and
backing initiatives that empower women and girls to make informed decisions
about their futures, UNFPA’s partnership with Australia has been vital in
ensuring that even the most vulnerable are not left behind.

The event held today in Canberra was coordinated by Family Planning Australia
and the Australian Parliamentary Group on Population and Development.


ABOUT UNFPA:

UNFPA is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. Our mission
is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe
and every young person's potential is fulfilled. We promote gender equality and
empower women, girls and young people to take control of their bodies and their
futures. We work with partners in more than 150 countries to provide access to a
wide range of sexual and reproductive health services. Our goal is ending unmet
need for family planning, preventable maternal death, and gender-based violence
and harmful practices including child marriage and female genital mutilation by
2030.
