Guttmacher 141d ago

On February 3, 2026, Dr. Elizabeth Sully, Guttmacher Institute Director of International Research, spoke at a Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC) press conference, joining partners to urge the Canadian government to maintain its 10-year commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Drawing on findings from our recently released Just the Numbers Canada analysis, she highlights how Canada’s support is making a measurable difference, preventing 1.6 million unintended pregnancies and averting 478,000 unsafe abortions and 2,100 maternal deaths. At a time when other major donors are reducing or withdrawing funding, Canada’s leadership is critical to protecting global access to care and preventing hard-won progress from slipping away.
