The 2000 Margaret Sanger Award went to Nafis Sadik, a physician and executive director of the United Nations Population Fund. She was presented with the honor at Planned Parenthood's annual Honors Gala concluding its Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.. The Federation cited her efforts to increase access to family planning, first as a physician with her own practice in Pakistan, then as director of Pakistan's national family planning service and finally at the United Nations Population Fund.
