Mission Statement
The Population Council is an international, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that seeks to improve the well-being and reproductive health of current and future generations around the world and to help achieve a humane, equitable, and sustainable balance between people and resources.
About This Cause
We take a multidisciplinary, intergenerational, life-cycle approach that contributes to four global goals, including the connections between them: ·Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Choices The Population Council tackles intersecting inequalities that undermine rights and access to contraception, HIV and STI prevention, maternal and newborn health, safe abortion, prevention and treatment of infertility, and sexuality education, among other sexual and reproductive health needs. Our research and partnerships ensure high quality, evidence-based, voluntary, and rights-based comprehensive care for sexual and reproductive health. On the biomedical front, scientists at our Center for Biomedical Research (CBR) develop contraceptives, multipurpose prevention technologies, and other products that meet people’s diverse needs and lifestyles. CBR is the leading innovator of high quality sexual and reproductive health products that enhance safety and choice for individuals in the global market. ·Adolescents and Young People Through our Girl Innovation, Research, and Learning (GIRL) Center, the Population Council carries forward a global agenda—that we helped define 25 years ago—to transform the lives of adolescents, especially girls. The agenda is more relevant than ever as adolescents face social, health, and economic challenges that have been further compounded by the Covid pandemic. ·Gender Equality and Equity The Population Council tackles social norms and power imbalances that underlie harmful practices impacting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals, especially women and girls. Sexuality, race, and ethnicity, among other identities, intersect in relation to people’s gendered experiences. We work locally, regionally, and globally to develop, implement, and scale proven context-relevant solutions. ·Climate and Environmental Changes Climate and environmental change impacts human health, society, and the planet, and the most severe harms fall disproportionately upon underserved people and communities who have contributed the least to the crisis. The Population Council’s initiative on Population, Environmental Risks, and the Climate Crisis (PERCC) generates ideas and conducts research on sustainable and equitable solutions to ensure equity, justice, and health.
