Restoring U.S. Funding for Global Women's Health and Safety

This bill aims to restore U.S. financial support for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), an agency working worldwide to improve women's health and safety. By providing funds, the U.S. would help prevent maternal deaths, expand access to voluntary family planning, and combat gender-based violence in over 150 countries, aligning with U.S. foreign policy goals for global stability.
Key points
Authorizes $74 million annually for 2026 and 2027 to support UNFPA's core programs, excluding those in China.
Funds would address preventable maternal deaths, promote voluntary contraception, and fight harmful practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation globally.
The bill emphasizes UNFPA's role in humanitarian crises and its commitment to voluntary, rights-based reproductive health care, without funding abortion.
