The intersection between population, conflict, climate change and migration is the cornerstone of contemporary population control debates and rekindles initiatives that target the bodies of women and girls, largely of colour and from the Global South. As a growing population becomes framed as a global problem, the fertility of those women turns into a threat and their bodies into a space for interventions by international organizations, development agencies, and governments. The purpose of this work is to investigate one of said interventions, the largest one when it comes to targets and financial investment - the Family Planning 2020.More specifically, the project will look to FP 2020 to analyse the role played by quantified data in substantiating interventions in the reproductive health of millions of women. The working hypothesis of this dissertation is that data is a crucial element to the rebranding of family planning policies as not racially oriented, but rather as objective and evidence-based and that, by adhering to an ethics of care, one might avoid the pitfalls of instrumentalizing women s fertility and overall health in order to address other pressing issues.
