When women lack access to reproductive healthcare, preventable deaths soar 📈, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

It's time to break barriers and ensure every woman has the right to quality maternal care and bodily autonomy. #EndMaternalMortality #HealthEquity

Empowered mothers 💪 have the power to shape the world with their voices. When they speak up for themselves and others, they ignite conversations and lead the charge for impactful change. Let's celebrate the strength of mothers.

Another milestone. UNFPA is proud to support Africa's health commodity security and align w/ AfCFTA Pharmaceutical Initiative on Africa Pooled Procurement Mechanism for life-saving medicines. #AfricaWeWant - resilient health systems & equitable access. 🌍Saturnin EPIE

Every child has the right to be protected from harm, in all settings and at all times. The movement to end female genital mutilation is intended to protect girls from profound, permanent, and completely unnecessary harm.

How does UNFPA address climate change? Our work focuses on:

💪 Empowering women & girls
🩺 Climate-smart healthcare & protection
🌧️ Strengthening emergency preparedness
📊 Data-driven climate response

Women are key players in climate action, but they're often left behind.

💪 Investing in women's education & leadership strengthens communities' resilience to climate change.

From ancient wisdom to modern methods.

UNFPA and UNICEF are working with the Ministry of Health and Maternity Foundation empowering midwives in Afar, Ethiopia with life-saving skills through digital learning. Reaching the farthest and furthest behind.

❗As climate disasters become more frequent and intense, the risk of gender-based violence increases because of displacement and other related factors.

Climate policies must address these vulnerabilities & protect women & girls.

When climate disasters strike, women and girls face greater challenges due to limited resources. Let's ensure their health, rights, and voices are at the forefront of building solutions.

In #DayoftheMidwife , my wish is to improve the state of midwifery in the region. This will advance countries’ efforts to strengthen national health systems. This will surely get us on the road to achieving the #GlobalGoals by 2030. Join UNFPA to empower midwives. Diene Keita

Midwives are the heart of healthcare, improving outcomes and reducing costs. Let's value their work and invest in their training and support. #ValueMidwives #HealthcareHeroes

UNFPA estimates that even without changes in female genital mutilation rates, the number of girls affected will rise due to population growth in high-risk areas. This demands our increased efforts, UNFPA joins Shudufhadzo to #EndFGM .

Midwives not only deliver babies but also empower communities. Let's support them as they challenge norms and promote health and equality. #EmpowerMidwives #CommunityHealth
