UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.

#Midwives do much more than deliver babies. They are heroes who: ✅ Prevent unwanted pregnancies ✅ Support survivors of violence ✅ Reduce unnecessary C-sections ✅ Provide sex education Join @unfpa.org to support their life-saving work: unf.pa/mid

Six UNFPA-supported maternity hospitals in #Ukraine have been attacked this year. @unfpa.org Representative to Ukraine Jacqueline Mahon visited the latest one to be struck, in Odesa, to inspect the damage. Hear how the impacts on mothers and newborns are more than just physical.

Today marks three years of conflict in #Sudan. About 1 million pregnant women need aid. Most can't access lifesaving care. @unfpa.org is providing health and protection services but funding gaps mean many will miss out. See UNFPA Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita's statement: https://unf.pa/tyi

A card with a photo at the top of UNFPA Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita speaking at an event.

The women and girls of Sudan deserve nothing less.” The UNFPA logo is in the bottom right corner.

Women and girls have suffered horrific violence since the conflict in #Sudan began three years ago. Many men and boys have been killed or forcibly disappeared. The health system is shattered and funding low. Hear the experiences of women and girls and share to #KeepEyesOnSudan

Today’s generation of young people is the largest the world has ever seen. By removing the barriers they face — such as gender inequality and limited access to health services — we can help them build a brighter future. See how @unfpa.org is doing just that: https://unf.pa/aay

The war is taking its toll at El-Obeid Hospital in western #Sudan. Despite limited supplies and frequent power outages, staff work tirelessly to help pregnant women and newborns. Sadly, not all survive. Women and girls need peace and life-saving aid. Share to #KeepEyesOnSudan.

🚨 The intensifying conflict in the Middle East is jeopardising the health and safety of all women and girls in the region. Health workers and services have been attacked. Warring parties must respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians and health services.
