No one left behind: has the pursuit of FP2020’s 120 million additional users goal left some women behind?
An important question is whether the FP2020’s “120 million additional users” goal exacerbated inequities and led to a prioritization of populations within countries where substantial gains towards the goal could be made.

News and Updates from FP2030
This last month, we’ve been celebrating LGBTI Pride as well as the second Generation Equality Forum in Paris. This is a good opportunity to recognize that the FP2030 partnership will be bigger and more inclusive, engaging partners beyond the family planning sector. People everywhere and in every body have the right to choose when or whether to have children, and they have the right to live healthy lives — and these rights are foundational to achieving gender equality. This is just one of the many ways FP2030 commitments are aligned with Generation Equality.
