In Moroni🇰🇲 with abt 122 000 inhabitants, there is a Center for Listening & #Protection of Children & Women victims of violence.
Set up by the Gov't, it offers integreted support to survivors in collaboration with @UNICEFComores, @UnfpaComores & other partners like #ASCOBEF
Even before #COVID19, people with disabilities faced high barriers to sexual and reproductive health. Now, they are even greater. We cannot allow the pandemic to leave people with disabilities behind: https://t.co/bqzWYVHgEX

The fallout of the assault on our planet is impeding our efforts to eliminate poverty and is driving instability, displacement and conflict.
It's time to transform our relationship with the natural world – and with each other.
Thank you to our #PartnersAtCore, who make @UNFPA’s lifesaving work in over 150 countries around the world possible. See how core funding helps ensure that we leave no one behind: https://t.co/UwxBwYRPqT

Visite de l'@UnfpaComores au centre des jeune de la #FCAS, des échanges ont porté sur ses interventions sur le terrain dans la lutte contre le VIH mais aussi sur les perspectives dans la lutte contre les #VBG et le développement des services #SSRAJ dans le #centre.
"Since my recruitment at @UnfpaComores, the accessibility of the office has improved because the Country Director @MamadouDICKO9 took the initiative to build a #ramp to facilitate my access to the building" said @Abdilmad. https://t.co/46mNJm6nev @BoniOuattara @One_UN_Comoros
This #IDPWD2020, let's reflect on these questions as we seek to achieve the SDGs by 2030:
🔵How can we ensure everyone realizes their rights and choices?
🔵What must happen to make services accessible, and to open equal opportunities to live and thrive?
Persons with disabilities are three times more likely to experience physical, sexual and emotional violence. Women with disabilities are up to 10 times more likely to experience sexual violence. All women deserve to be free of violence. #EndGBV#TheMarchContinues#16Days
“All countries should have fully inclusive sexual and reproductive health policies and services for persons with disabilities.”
⚖️ It’s a matter of human rights.

Building back better after #COVID must include persons with disabilities!
Join @UN_Enable on Dec. 4th from 11am-12:30pm EST for an important discussion.
Violence against women and girls is a blight on all our societies.
We all have a responsibility to take action to stop this horrible and widespread affront to human rights. https://t.co/BggBSDB8H9 #16Days
I take this issue of disability inclusion extremely seriously.
Securing equal rights for persons with disabilities is enshrined in the values of the @UN Charter and a core promise of the #GlobalGoals: to leave no one behind. https://t.co/aSq9MteCTj
