@unfpa.org
UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) is the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.
“Every woman has the right to give birth safely and to thrive, in dignity, throughout her life.” Yes, Ms. Diene Keita! Obstetric fistula is completely preventable and eliminating it is within our reach. See how @unfpa.org is working to #EndFistula: http://unf.pa/cef
#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.
No mother should have to give birth alone. In crises, women deliver without clean supplies or medical support. For just $5, you can provide a @unfpa.org Emergency Birth Kit and save a mother and her baby. Join Viola Davis and give the gift of a #SafeBirth: https://unf.pa/ebv
🚀 When women can plan their families, societies thrive. In #India, average fertility has shifted from 6 children to 2 since 1960. The result? More girls in school and more women in leadership. Let @unfpa.org explain why choice is an economic engine: https://unf.pa/wih #CPD59
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
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
After Cyclone Remal hit #Bangladesh in 2024, Tamanna’s parents had to choose between her education and feeding the family. They were prepared to marry her off. See how she escaped the fate of some girls in her community, with support from @unfpa.org: https://unf.pa/bao

After more than two years of war and deprivation in #Gaza, child marriage and early pregnancy are rising sharply, according to new analysis by @unfpa.org. Young people also face emergency levels of depression and anxiety. See how UNFPA is responding: https://unf.pa/sic
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

🚨 Attacks on healthcare in #Lebanon and #Iran are significantly limiting women and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health services. International humanitarian law must be upheld. Civilians and health services must be protected. #NotATarget
As conflict in the Middle East puts women and children at risk and disrupts delivery of life-saving supplies for vulnerable people around the world, @unfpa.org Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita echoes the Secretary-General’s call for diplomacy to prevail. See her statement: https://unf.pa/stm

🚨 Women and girls’ access to healthcare in the #WestBank is restricted by military operations and settler violence. @UNFPA is assisting maternal and reproductive healthcare but urgent support is needed to sustain these lifesaving services.
🚨 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.
