In the last 30 years, improved population data has transformed global healthcare, especially in sexual and reproductive health. Yet, marginalized communities remain underrepresented. This World Population Day, let's ask who is still uncounted and why, and commit to capturing the full diversity of our societies. When data works for those on the margins, it benefits us all.
