United Nations Population Fund

This is the key message captured by the United Nations Population Fund in their 2018 flagship publication.

The publication outlines the long term effects of choices and how it impacts fertility rates, family sizes and child spacing, amongst others.

Family size is closely linked with reproductive rights, which in turn are tied to many rights including the right to adequate health, education and jobs.

The state department says the agency supports or participates in a programme of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation in China.

But the UNFPA says this is an "erroneous claim", and that its work does not break any US laws.

In total $32.5m (£26m) in funds will be withdrawn for the 2017 financial year.

This is the first of the promised cuts to US financial contributions to the UN by the Trump administration.

The UNFPA, like other UN agencies, is funded by governments voluntarily.

The state department said the UNFPA "supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation".

This is the first of the promised cuts to US financial contributions to the UN by the Trump administration.

The UNFPA said it "regrets the decision" and has not broken any laws.

In total $32.5m (£26m) in funds is being withdrawn for the 2017 financial year.
