In 1968, world leaders proclaimed that individuals have a basic human right to determine freely and responsibly the number and timing of their children. Forty years later, modern contraception remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of women, men and young people.
This year’s World Population Day reaffirms the right of people to plan their families. It encourages activities, events and information that will help make this right real – especially for those who often have the hardest time getting the information and services they need to plan their families, such as marginalized populations and young people.

For more information check out the great fact sheets they have available. These would be great to print off and pass out if you are looking for a way to get the word spread. Just visit the media kit page for all the resources.
Now, on a more frighteningly funny note, which searching for any images of people doing this today I stumbled upon this little charm. Apparently the celebration of World Population Day today will bring about the end of the world (scroll down a little bit to find it). No, it's true. they've got Bible verses and everything to prove it! And Nostradamus too, though I thought he was kind of frowned up by most of the Bible wavers.
