More than 225 million people who want access to family planning cannot get it, UN Population Fund (UNFPA) Executive Director Babatunde Osotimehin said Tuesday.

Osotimehin made the remarks at a press conference held to mark the appointment of American actress Ashley Judd as UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador.

The UNFPA is the arm of the United Nations which focuses on family planning, or in other words ensuring women can decide when and how they become pregnant, and ensuring safe pregnancy and child birth for women and babies.
