The $377 million U.S. cut to UNFPA funding this year is costing lives.

Women and girls across the globe — including pregnant women, mothers, and young girls — face higher risks of maternal death and unintended pregnancy while childbirth care is disrupted, contraception becomes scarce, and services for survivors of violence shrink. Adolescent girls are robbed of education, forced into child marriages, and brutalized by female genital mutilation.

In regions impacted by conflict, climate emergencies, and humanitarian disasters, UNFPA-supported clinics are being forced to close or reduce safe deliveries and emergency obstetric care. Supplies of contraceptives and menstrual hygiene products are dwindling, and the number of safe spaces for survivors of violence continues to shrink.

H.R. 2439, the Support UNFPA Funding Act, would restore U.S. funding for UNFPA so our clinics, midwives, and health providers can plan, keep supplies in stock, and respond the moment crises hit. This legislation would safeguard maternal health, family planning, and lifesaving support for survivors of violence in over 150 countries.

The women and girls we serve are at a breaking point as sexual and reproductive health disappear and your voice is needed. Help restore UNFPA funding and ensure our lifesaving care and services reach those who need it most around the world.

Send a letter to your representative to urge them to back the Support UNFPA Funding Act (H.R. 2439). The letter is already drafted for you — all that you need to do is add your name and hit send.

Thank you for acting now to protect the health and dignity of women and girls worldwide.

With gratitude,

Jacob
