The International Conference on Population and Development or Cairo Conference in 1994 was an international meeting coordinated by the UN which took place in Cairo, Egypt, from September 5 to September 13, 1994. There, some 20,000 delegates, including then President Clinton, advised other governments, UN agencies and non-governmental organizations on a variety of topics, including immigration, infant mortality, family planning, and protection for women from unsafe abortion. Representatives of the 179 governments present at the Cairo Conference adopted an action program in Cairo that places reproductive health and reproductive rights at the center of population policy. The program envisaged access to sexuality education, contraception and family planning, protection against HIV and AIDS, and health care related to pregnancy and childbirth.
