• UNFPA, the United Nations population fund, is an international development
organization that promotes the right of every women, man and child to enjoy
a life of health and equal opportunity.

issues with an emphasis on sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender
equality.
• UNFPA works to fulfill the rights of people rather than the needs of
beneficiaries. It is an important distinction because an unfulfilled need leads
to dissatisfaction while a right that is not respected leads to violence.
