UN: Although the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has already faced funds, Natalia Kinam, CEO of InfPA, told AFP that the effects of President Donald Trump’s policies have been “more” catastrophic “worldwide.
Since the Congress approved the Camp-Caston Amendment in 1985, when the then President Ronald Reagan’s administration mobilized the Chinese population plans and accused Beijing of encouraging forced abortion and sterilization, UNFPA has been the target of US conservatives.
All subsequent Republican presidency have reduced US funds for UNFPA, and Trump’s other administration is not exempt.
In an interview with the UNFPA’s annual report on Tuesday, “We have more than $ 330 million worth of projects,” in practice overnight, “some of the toughest regions in the world”, Kannam said in an interview on Tuesday.
“So yes, we are in trouble.”
Kenim, for example, pointed to the Zatari refugee camp in Jordan, where over 18,000 pregnancy was carried out by “brave midwives” over the years, who “provided more than 18,000 without the same maternity death, which you know, is unusual in the crisis situation.”
“These maternity wards are closed today,” Kanim said. The funds in the funds immediately mean that the midwife can no longer do their jobs. “
According to Kinam, although the exact effects of US deductions are very early, they will result in increased maternal mortality and increasing more neutral pregnancy.
“What is the difference for UNFPA this time is that the environmental system of our other reproductive health actors that may be able to fill us,” said Kanim, adding that “he is suffering from a major impact on refusing their financing.”
The Trump administration has reduced many such external aid programs.
“So it’s very sad that this year, to me, has been worse than ever, because everyone is now trapped in a whirlpool.”
“The withdrawal of the United States from the field of financing for reproductive health has been disastrous,” Kanim said.
Rights and choices
US policy is not only marked by funding deductions, but also a challenge for gender equality issues.
“There will be discussions about ideas, but there should be no debate about the rights and non -negotiations of women and young girls.”
“We always accept change, but we should not compromise on shared values that are a sign of the difference between life and death for women and girls all over the world,” he added.
“Women deserve cooperation. Teenagers deserve to end their education, not be pregnant, not stop or send them to marriage, which may face families.”
Based on the results of a UNFPA annual report published on Tuesday, and the results of a survey of 14,000 people from 14 countries – countries that represent one -third of the world’s population – also indicate concerns that millions of people around the world cannot make their desire.
More than 40 % of children over the age of 50 have reported not to have the number of children they want – with 31 % they say they have fewer children and 12 % say they have more than their desire.
More than half of the respondents said economic barriers prevented them from having more and more children.
On the contrary, one in five said they were pressured to have a baby, and one in three adults reported an unannounced pregnancy.
“Most people live in countries where the fertility rate has fallen so far and so fast that they are less than alternatives,” Kanim said.
“We know that the issue of population pressure is almost like a tough headline. Some people think that there are many people. Others are saying that we do not have enough, women should have more children.”
“What really cares for Infapa is a woman’s real desire, rights and choice,” Kanim said.
