Actively, tirelessly, passionately work to advance #genderequality #SRHR #youthengagement & build empowered & ethical human beings .

Once again reiterating, that numbers matter but humans behind those numbers matter far greater for us at UNFPA...

[Pio Smith @PioSmith_UN]

Accurate, accessible data is vital to understand and address climate change, digitalization, demographic shifts, maternal deaths + gender-based violence. @UNFPA enhances decision-making by modernizing censuses and using geospatial technologies to ensure everyone is counted.

At #APStatsCST9, I emphasized the need to harness data to ensure we #LeaveNoOneBehind.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

On Monday's #YouthDay & every day, the @UNYouthAffairs Office & the entire @UN family stand with & for young people.

Together, let's draw on their energy & ideas to shape a more sustainable future for all.

#OurCommonFuture

[Pio Smith @PioSmith_UN]

The stories from people of #SIDS that I’ve met through the years tell me that remoteness is about life and death. It's the pregnant woman struggling to reach a clinic, the nurse waiting for critical equipment, and the youth choosing between leaving their homeland or facing unemployment.

These challenges, amplified by the #climatecrisis, need interconnected solutions that leave no one behind.

Thank you #Australia for organizing this important discussion on the sidelines of the #SIDS4 to unpack what remoteness means and what more we can do for small island communities.

[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.

'There will be no development if all of the people are not taken care of - because development is an issue of people!' @dienekeita at the Global Dialogue on Demographic Diversity and Sustainable Development #ICPD30 #GlobalGoals

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

From Cairo to Nairobi to Cotonou to Dhaka, the message has been clear: the #ICPD Programme of Action remains evergreen.

In a demographically diverse world, the movement for #SRHR needs rigorous champions. We can’t wait another 30 years to fulfil the promise of Cairo!

7 years. That's how long 1 million #Rohingya have been living in these overcrowded refugee camps in #CoxsBazar.

Ever since, @UNFPA has been on the ground providing women & girls the supplies, services, and information they need to uphold their sexual & reproductive health & rights, despite the challenges. This includes actively engaging with adolescent boys to create a safe space for all.

@UNFPA calls on all our partners to help support the Rohingya to live in dignity.

[UNFPA China @UNFPAChina]

Young people are agents of change!

In a visit to #Shanghai, @UNFPAAsiaPac Deputy Regional Director Dr. Aleksandar Sasha Bodiroza encouraged young people to take lead on sustainable development and to create innovative solutions on the health and development of women and girls.

Midwives & nurses are nothing short of heroic in safeguarding lives and promoting the well-being of women & newborns, especially as the climate crisis intensifies across #AsiaPacific.

In my op-ed on #MidwiferyDay, I urge for increased recognition of their contribution to society & for greater investments in their education, deployment and empowerment: https://t.co/MFDl6SpgB4

#OurCommonFuture must be a future for all, where no one is left behind.

This message was reiterated at the opening of the 57th session of the Commission on #Population & Development.

Looking forward to the #CPD57 discussions this week as we also prepare for the #ICPD30 global dialogues to be held in #Bangladesh next month.

Asia and the Pacific is at crossroads. Building inclusive sustainable societies in times of significant demographic change requires strengthened collaboration for #OurCommonFuture.

On day 2 at #CPD57, together with @UNESCAP, we brought together key players to discuss emerging socioeconomic challenges and to highlight the importance of regional cooperation following up from the #APPC7 held in Nov last year to review #ICPD30 in #AsiaPacific.

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

Today, @UNFPA commemorated 30 years since the International Conference on Population and Development and its evergreen Programme of Action.

Together, let us commit the investments and urgent action needed to bring the promise of the ICPD real to all those still waiting.
