UNFPA RD @BauerFlorence spoke on joining forces to tackle gender-based violence - including early marriage & growing challenge of technology-facilitated GBV to ensure every girl can enjoy good health, education, and bright opportunities with @Ombudsman_Geo Levan Ioseliani.
Honoured to be officially sworn in as @unfpachief by UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres.
Proud to lead an incredible team working tirelessly to uphold the rights, choices and dignity of women and young people, and ensure every person counts.
Do you think a woman's main responsibility is to take care of her family rather then pursue a professional career? In last 5 years 9% more people in Georgia believe that's true.💡Read the landmark survey: https://t.co/JmIPd0EgAo

We call on all stakeholders to build on Georgia’s progress towards women’s rights protection, and to uphold Georgia’s international commitments. The UN is committed to work with all partners in Georgia to respect and realize these objectives.

At @WHO's #COP29 side event, @UNFPATurkiye representative Mariam Khan highlighted the urgent need to #ActNow to strengthen health systems for women & girls.
This means:
✅ Increased access to SRH & #GBV services
✅ More research on climate change's impact on women's health
Climate change is influencing all aspects of our lives, not sparing sexual and reproductive health and rights.
I can't stress enough how important it is for countries to make climate commitments that are accurate, country-specific and comprehensive.
-Duško Solomun, Assistant Minister of Ecology, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Was great to host 124 participants from 29 countries for the Annual Forum of the Regional Alliance to #EndCervicalCancer .
Three days filled with thematic expos, networking, a cancer screening center visit, and inspiring country stories.
#CervicalCancer is preventable.
Happy #DayOfTheGirl !
I'm inspired by the strength of the girls I've met during my visit to #Armenia and their ideas for the future.
It’s time to listen, invest, and act to empower them, and all the girls in this region, to fulfill their dreams!
"I personally advocate for the comprehensive engagement of young people, not through symbolic inclusion, but as a concrete involvement in the shaping of policies at the national and global level."
