Rural women & girls face unique challenges:
🔸Limited access to #SRH services & info

Just spoke about the status of SDG5 at @UNESCAP forum on SDG implementation in North and Central Asia. My key messages: 1) we need to invest to get more data on SDG5 and 2) we need to address social and gender norms within a broader understanding of demographic trends and change

The need for resilient and inclusive recovery in Ukraine remains critical. At the #URC24 in Berlin, @UNFPA reaffirmed its commitment to supporting #Ukraine's recovery, highlighting the role of gender-responsive and inclusive actions in rebuilding the nation.

We heard heartbreaking stories of girls and women survivors of violence who received health, psychosocial, referral support and temporary lodging in a victim support room supported by @UNFPATajikistan @EUinTajikistan @GlobalSpotlight ❤️

#URC2024 is a wrap. Heartbreaking to hear about the continued destruction and suffering - heartwarming to see the courage, resilience, determination and creativity of the Ukrainian people and the support from everyone rallying for Ukraine @UNFPA among them. Stronger together!

[Klaus Beck @KlausBeck_]

Please support Ukraine and our life saving sexual and reproductive health and gender based violence work there in whatever way you can. It makes a real difference in the lives of the most vulnerable women and girls in Ukraine.

With #Ukraine facing massive demographic shifts & its human capital being depleted by the war, @UNFPA is prioritizing #DemographicResilience in its support for longer-term recovery.
