This July 11 marks World Population Day and the 30th anniversary of a landmark UN conference that redefined global approaches to women’s rights. 🎯 Back in 1994, world leaders declared that \"women’s sexual and reproductive health are non-negotiable pillars of sustainable development\" – sparking decades of advances in healthcare access and gender equality.

📈 Expanded family planning education
💡 Funding for reproductive health clinics
🌱 Climate-resilient healthcare systems
\"We’re celebrating progress, but COVID-19 set us back years,\" says reporter Ediz Tiyansan, covering the story from Los Angeles. \"Young people everywhere need to understand – this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about real lives.\" 👩⚕️

With global population projected to hit 9.7 billion by 2050, experts say empowering women through education and healthcare remains our best tool for building equitable societies. 🌟 How will you contribute to the conversation?
