“Put women and girls at the centre. Their empowerment, their needs, their rights are very important aspects of achieving the demographic dividend.”
An exclusive interview by CNN News 18 with UNFPA's Regional Director of Asia and the Pacific, Mr. Björn Andersson on the world's population reaching 8 billion. Mr. Andersson emphasizes the need to address gender-based violence, look beyond the numbers and view population as a resource, and strengthen the reproductive autonomy of women and girls.
