Father's Day...and beyond

As we look forward to celebrating Father's Day (17 June) as well as World Population Day (11 July) the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has captured the deeper meaning of these special days:

Men at Work:
--Support Pregnant Wife
--Care for Baby
--Educate Daughters
--Share Parenting

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
