Today in History

Every year on July 11, the world observes World Population Day to raise awareness about global population issues and their impact on sustainable development. Established by the United Nations in 1989, the day highlights the importance of reproductive health, gender equality, family planning, education and the need to balance population growth with available resources. It serves as a reminder that investing in people's health, education and opportunities is key to building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
