Women all over the world “will suffer the consequences” of President Donald Trump's decision to cut US funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), a leading women's health advocate has said.

The UN body receives approximately $75m (£60m) from the US, making it the fourth largest contributor. The US State Department has said it will cut $32.5m from the 2017 budget, with the potential to lose out on the millions more provided through "non-core funds".

Shannon Kowalski, Director of Advocacy and Policy of the International Women’s Health Coalition said that with US assistance, UNFPA in 2016 was able to “save the lives of 2,340 women from dying during pregnancy and childbirth, prevent 947,000 unintended pregnancies, prevent 295,000 unsafe abortions, and help 3 million couples prevent unwanted pregnancy.”

"This administration is putting politics over evidence, and women around the world will suffer the consequences," she said.is putting politics over evidence, and women around the world will suffer the consequences," she said.
