✅Ensured 80% of health facilities are youth-friendly

From policy to community action, we are unlocking the full potential of young people.

It was an honour meet Hon Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, Minister of Defence for Zimbabwe and delegation at the @UN_Women offices today in New York.

We congratulated #Zimbabwe on the National Action on Women Peace and Security, and shared the UN commitments to #UNRes1325 on WPS.
We also recognized that in its bid for UN Security Council seat, the country has included commitments on gender equality and women’s participation

We discussed on the importance of strong institutions in Member States, such as constitutional Gender Commissions as well as protection of the @UN mandates for advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, imperative deriving from the UN Charter.

I truly valued the opportunity we had to reflect on role of women in the liberation struggle for freedom, and how such stories are not fully documented across the world.

We briefed on our WPS program; the @ElsieFund and the EVAW work especially the Member States Network on Policing and EVAWG, thanks to our policy teams.

As the @UNZimbabwe develops the Cooperation framework with the country, we encourage a strong incorporation of the WPS agenda.

Justice fails when #WomenAndGirls must prove their worth for Protection, while Institutions meant to serve them Fail to prove their Commitment to Fairness!
