Plans for Global Petition Drive Announced

The Population Institute announced plans in November to launch a global petition campaign next year to build support for family planning and reproductive health services.  The U.N. has set the year 2015 as the target year for achieving universal access to family planning and other reproductive health services, but international support for achieving that goal has fallen short of expectations. The goal of the 2011 petition campaign will be to collect one million online signatures on behalf of a $1 billion increase in the current level of international support for family planning and reproductive health services.  The petition, which will be global in scope, will be presented to leaders in the U.S. and other donor nations at the end of the campaign.
