Our future depends on the rights of women and girls.

WHAT CAUSES OVERPOPULATION?

In a word: inequity. Each day, human population reaches a new all-time high, driven by numerous inequities, including misinformation, lack of education, and low status of women and girls.

We don’t have overpopulation, no. There was the “threat of overpopulation” but that has been rendered false since 2016. “Peak population estimates” are decreasing every other year.

Peak population estimates to decrease, but they are also dependent on the rights of women and girls, or education. As those things happen, fertility rates decrease. I have seen numbers that say we can peak at 9.7 billion in the 2060's, if fertility rates decrease, which is tied to women's rights.
