Japan Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador in the Republic of Tajikistan (RT) Mr. Hajime Kitaoka and UNFPA country director in Tajikistan Ms. Mieko Yabuta signed an agreement on the financial contribution of the Japanese government to UNFPA in the amount of about 1.715 million US dollars to support the project “Strengthening of national family planning services (FS)” for the period from 2017 to 2020.

According to the Japanese side, the Japanese government will finance Tajikistan’s healthcare in the area of preventing unwanted pregnancies, supplying contraceptives to the country.

Mieko Yabuta stated: “Family planning helps to prevent unwanted and often high-risk pregnancies and allows women and families to plan their lives. This is one of the most effective health services in terms of costs and is a key component of maternal and child health in Tajikistan. It helped to improve the health of women and children and reduce maternal and child mortality in Tajikistan and around the world”. (Source: untj.org)

It is no secret that by the end of the 20th century the West was facing the problem of declining fertility, which is the result of the implementation of the secularist ideology in these countries. And the increase in the population of the Earth mainly belongs to the Muslim countries and the third world countries, as evidenced by the report of the United Nations Development Program for 2016. This fact, in turn, cannot but worry the countries of the bearers of the capitalist ideology.

The official purposes of the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), according to its charter, are:

– Reproductive health, including maternal health, family planning and sexual health;

– Population strategies – helping countries to take into account demographic issues in policy making, in developing strategies for improving the quality of life of the population, improving national capacity to develop population programs;

– Advocacy for the promotion of women’s equality, support for policy measures, raising awareness and resources to address the population and development issues.

All this indicates that the West with the help of this fund promotes and imparts the secular concepts of life to the whole world, and primarily to Muslims.

In addition, a number of international organizations, such as the Center for Family and Human Rights, and authoritative demographic scientists believe that UNFPA pursues a policy of “demographic deterrence” by introducing the institutions that destroy the social stability of the family, and the position of UNFPA is politically engaged and formed in the mainstream of the foreign policy of a number of developed countries.

As for Tajikistan, with the current authoritarian rule in the country, the introduction of this program as a result can lead to a situation that has developed in the neighboring Uzbekistan under the rule of the enemy of Allah – Karimov, that is, to forced sterilization of women after childbirth without the knowledge of women themselves. The head of one of the few active non-governmental organizations in Uzbekistan Expert Working Group Suhrob Ismailov said in an interview with the BBC in 2012: “We are talking about tens of thousands of women who have undergone sterilization throughout the country”.
