Programme Coordinator (Gender & Humanitarian- @UNFPAKen, improving lives of women, girls and young people. loves Adventure . Views expressed here are my own.
Progress on gender equality has been slow & uneven.
No nation has achieved full equality for women & girls.
Let's be clear: equal rights & opportunities are not partisan issues.
Leaders must speak out, act & deliver the equality our world so sorely needs.
By tackling #ClimateChange with a gender lens, young women’s & girl's rights are also addressed, tackling rather than exacerbating existing gender inequalities.
On this #WorldHumanitarianDay join @UNFPA to protect women’s rights where it’s most needed. #StandUp4HumanRights
"Society appears like a dense forest to one who suffers exclusion, in reality every tree has its own space". Policies/programmes must be conceived/implemented in a manner sensitive to gender and other demographic characteristics to ensure that none is excluded. #BuildBackBetter
⚠️ #ClimateChange doesn’t have the same impact on everyone.
Extreme weather can lead to more gender-based violence, more child marriages and more pregnancy complications.
This #WorldHumanitarianDay, join
@UNFPA to protect women’s rights during climate disasters.
Safe motherhood promotes continuity of talent and the flourish of sport.
As Faith Kipyegon dedicates her Tokyo 2020 medal to her 3 yr daughter, we applaud the hope & inspiration that she awakens among women of reproductive age seeking to maximize their potential. #Tokyo2020

FGM is not only a harmful practice but a human rights violation and reveals the inherent inequality between girls and boys and women and men. It impedes on the rights of women and girls including their SRHR.
