“We welcome the announcement about the ceasefire in #Gaza. Many have been hoping for this moment for the past 15 months.

This agreement will finally bring much needed respite for the people of Gaza and the release of hostages.

What’s needed now is rapid, unhindered and uninterrupted humanitarian access and supplies to respond to the tremendous suffering caused by this war."

– UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

"We must stand up for Human Rights always!" @antonioguterres. Today as human rights are under assault this is more important than ever.
@UNFPA is proud to promote and protect the rights and choices for ALL.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

This #HumanRightsDay, we face a harsh truth:

Human rights are under assault.

Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined.

Let’s protect, defend and uphold all human rights for all people.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Investing in women’s health is not just about addressing health disparities; it is about unlocking a powerful catalyst for development. When we prioritize the health of women, we create a ripple effect that benefits families, communities, and entire nations.

Yesterday, at #WHS2024, we gathered to ignite a movement that recognizes the essential role of women's health in global development and to unlocking significant resources for the world.

I thank all those who committed to addressing the unique needs of women at every stage of their lives, ensuring they have the agency, autonomy, and opportunities to thrive.

Today we celebrate International Day of the World's Indigenous People, it's a time to reflect on how much we have to learn from indigenous peoples & their understanding about how the health of the planet & the health of people are intrinsically linked #WeAreIndigenous

[Pio Smith @PioSmith_UN]

Our message from @UNFPA is clear: We believe in upholding the principle of 'leaving no one behind' by ensuring that no individual or community is overlooked. This means rejecting distance, cultural barriers, costs, and other challenges as excuses when designing our programmes.

Let us seize this moment to reaffirm our collective commitment to the well-being & resilience of #SIDS, particularly of it's women & girls, through partnerships, innovation & solidarity for an inclusive and sustainable future for all.

Psst. Don't tell my wife, but I got her a great Mothers Day present: a donation in her name to @mothersdaymovem , https://t.co/mAHCfPPJq0 . The idea is to help moms in general worldwide, as well as one particular heroic mom. Much recommended.

FGM and its Medicalization: Health Complications, Rights, Policy, Strategies and Pushback!

Join @UNFPA @UN_SPExperts @UNICEF

I reject any and all attempts to medicalise FGM to attempt to make it an acceptable practice. No to FGM!!!!

[UNFPA Nordic Representation Office @UNFPA_Nordic]

Always a pleasure meeting with dedicated Members of Parliament to discuss the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights.

#Sweden's 🇸🇪 global leadership on #SRHR and as @UNFPA's steadfast #PartnersAtCore takes us closer to making the promise of #ICPD a reality.

@UN4Indigenous @UNFPA sharing report #ThreadsOfHope:

"Indigenous women are often denied culturally appropriate maternal health care, resulting in higher risk of death during childbirth. Our report provides call to action to address these inequalities"

https://t.co/UFKtnfSbPs

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

We need to collect more and better data to understand who is being left behind and how we can reach them with vital health services and information.

By reaching people at the margins, we strengthen the whole human tapestry.

#ThreadsOfHope

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

But, Byanyima said, the report also “powerfully conveys the social progress that has been won through determined activism. As the report notes, at the start of the AIDS pandemic, most countries criminalised LGBTQ people, but now two-thirds do not.”

230 MILLION+ girls & women have endured #FGM 🌍 This is NOT okay🙅‍♀️

@UNFPA ED @Atayeshe stands firm against repeal efforts in #TheGambia "Let us not rest until every woman and girl has the right to live a healthy, empowered, and full life"

Bravo @UNFPA @Atayeshe for this extraordinary #SWP Report 2024. "..while the world has focused on serving the easiest to reach, we have neglected to confront the inequalities and disparities within our systems and societies..." #ICPD30 #SRHR Must read 👇

Much progress has been made on sexual and reproductive well-being, but millions are still denied rights and choices, global @UNFPA report #TheadsOfHope finds.

#DidYouKnow: Globally, 1 in 5 girls is married, or in a union, before age 18?

In the least developed countries, that number doubles to around 40%.

This #ValentinesDay, help girls around the world say #IDONT to child marriage ⏩ https://t.co/frmm9c1i5B

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

Despite conflicts that may divide us, it's in the pursuit of peace, justice & equality that we discover our common ground.

Respect for everyone's rights is the tried & true way to overcome crisis & ensure a better future for all.

The time for human rights is now. #HumanRights75

[ICFP @the_ICFP]
