World Population Awareness Week

In 2003 FPAID supported World Population Awareness Week (26 October - 1 November) by setting up a display in the Wellington Public Library. The display highlighted the week's theme: "Water: the 21st Century Crisis."

In 2002, FPAID organised a display in Parliament with facts and illustrations relating to that year's theme: "Population and the Next Generation: Youth and Adolescents", and special focus on the HIV/AIDS crisis and its increasing prevalence among young people of today.
