This is important, friend: The Support UNFPA Funding Act was just reintroduced in Congress.

In a moment, we’ll explain why this bill is so important to our work. But first, we’re asking you to protect critical funding for women and girls around the world by signing our petition in favor of the Support UNFPA Funding Act. [[link removed]]

Right now, the US President can roll back funding for UNFPA — the UN Sexual and Reproductive Health Agency — at any time. There are real world repercussions on our humanitarian work for women and girls if UNFPA funding is abruptly cut off.

Women and girls living through wars in Sudan and Ukraine, extreme drought in the Horn of Africa, and crisis settings around the world are even less able to access care and have their needs met when funding is cut.

That’s where the Support UNFPA Funding Act comes in. Introduced by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, this legislation protects UNFPA funding from being canceled for five years. It also boldly states that:

*
Improving
the
status
of
women
around
the
world
is
a
critical
component
of
the
United
States'
foreign
policy
and
development
strategies.

*
Every
person
has
a
fundamental
right
to
decide
if,
when,
and
with
whom
to
have
children
and
to
attain
the
highest
standard
of
sexual
and
reproductive
health.

*
Access
to
voluntary
contraception
and
reproductive
health
care
is
necessary
to
improve
the
status
of
women
and
ensure
this
basic
human
right.

Passing this legislation will mean UNFPA programs delivering essential sexual and reproductive health care can continue serving women and girls around the world without fear of scaling back. We can’t leave women and girls behind, which is why we are asking for you to speak up in favor of this legislation today.

Please sign on to protect UNFPA funding and ensure we can continue delivering lifesaving care and services to the areas it's needed most around the world: [[link removed]]
