World population day
In 1989, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Program recommended that July 11 should be observed by the international community as World Population Day, to pay attention to the urgency and importance of population issues.
This year's World Population Day calls for a global focus on the incomplete trade of population and development at the 1994 International Conference. Twenty-five years have passed since that historic convention, where 179 governments have recognized that reproductive health and gender equality are necessary to achieve sustainable development.
In November, the UNFPA, together with the governments of Kenya and Denmark, will hold a high-level conference in Nairobi to expedite efforts to achieve these uncompromising goals. On World Population Day, advocates around the world are calling on leaders, policymakers, grassroots organizers, institutions and others to help make reproductive health and rights a reality for all. The United Nations' (UN) World Population Day is observed annually on 11 July to reaffirm the human right to plan for the family. It encourages activities, events and information to help make this right a reality around the world.

World Population Day is a global observation and not a public holiday.
The background
In 1968 world leaders declared that individuals had the basic human right to freely and responsibly determine the number and timing of their children. Nearly 40 years later, modern contraception is out of reach for millions of women, men and youth. World Population Day was started in 1989 as Five Billion Day, which was marked on 11 July 1987. The United Nations authorized the event as a vehicle to create awareness about population issues and the impact on development and the environment.
Since then, with the encouragement of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), governments, non-governmental organizations, institutions, and individuals organize various educational activities to commemorate the annual event.
symbol
The United Nations logo is often associated with marketing and promotional materials for the event. It is a projection of a world map (Lesser Antarctica) centered on the North Pole, surrounded by olive branches. The olive branches symbolize peace and the world map represents all the people of the world. It is painted in shades of blue against a yellow background.
