October 28, 2025 Next week, Bogotá, Colombia, will host the Seventh International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP 2025), the first time the event is held in Latin America. The global gathering comes at a critical moment — reproductive rights face threats worldwide, and a US $1.5 billion funding gap looms over family-planning programs. In Africa, these issues are particularly pressing. The World Health Organization (WHO) cautions that maternal mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa exceed the 2030 global target by more than five times, with millions of women still lacking access to modern contraceptive methods.

  Global P erspective : Unsafe Abortion Persists Despite Legal Rights Photo/WHO According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2023), about 73 million abortions occur globally each year, and 45% of them are unsafe. The majority happen in developing countries where laws are restrictive or health systems lack resources. 97% of unsafe abortions occur in low- and middle-income countries. 13% of all maternal deaths worldwide — roughly 39,000 every year — are linked to unsafe abortions. In Africa, almost three out of every four abortions are unsafe.
