For nearly 60 years, the United States has been a leading force in global health, investing in international family planning and maternal, newborn and child health efforts. Under the current Trump administration, nearly all foreign assistance has been slashed, including vital global health programs.

These cuts, representing only 0.1% of the US budget, have a catastrophic impact. Without this funding, 47.6 million women and couples will be denied modern contraceptives within a year, jeopardizing essential healthcare and life-saving protections.
