Young people need ongoing support to exercise their choices and achieve their aspirations. Making investments in young people is the right thing and smart thing to do to build a better tomorrow.

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

Young people's decisions about having children are shaped by their aspirations, relationships, financial security and opportunities.

Everyone deserves the freedom and support to make their own reproductive choices.

See @UNFPA's new global report: https://t.co/LbzZcMLFQR

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

Despite a stark shortfall in humanitarian funding, @UNFPA delivered life-saving reproductive health care to over 2.3 million people in the first three months of 2026.

Help us continue to deliver with efficiency, agility and under pressure: https://t.co/8MvZCY66Jt

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

@UNFPA’s commitment is unwavering.

In the first quarter of 2026, we maintained 1,095 gender-based violence safe spaces across 37 countries.

With our appeal only 23% funded though, we need global support: https://t.co/8MvZCY66Jt

For women and girls who survived the earthquakes in #Venezuela, finding food and shelter is just the first step.

That’s where @UNFPA is stepping in.

Hear from @UNFPA_Ve National Representative Eugenia Sekler about the situation on the ground in one of the hardest hit areas.

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

Flexible core resources provided to UNFPA have extraordinary power.

Thanks to our #PartnersAtCore, @UNFPA can uphold the rights and choices of women, girls and young people across more than 150 countries ➡️ https://t.co/aKpaFkUVZq

Ending obstetric fistula requires closing gaps on maternal health care, ensuring health systems work for all women and goals, and ending harmful practices. @UNFPA

Every woman has the right to give birth safely and to thrive in dignity.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

‘Behind each operation, there is a story.’

@UNFPA 2026 UN Population Award laureate Prof. Serigne Gueye tells UN News that ending obstetric fistula requires stronger maternal health systems and community support.

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

This is an important milestone for protecting women’s and girls’ human rights in humanitarian contexts.

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

For the first time, a negotiated @UN resolution has named reproductive violence a distinct form of gender-based violence.

Rights violations such as forced pregnancy and attacks on reproductive healthcare in humanitarian crises must be stopped.

Flexible funding has a multiplier impact and is essential for ensuring sexual and reproductive health and rights. 🇳🇴 In 2025, @‌NorwayMFA’s core support ensured over 3.2 million people received the essential health services they need to thrive. #PartnersAtCore

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

What do young people want? It’s so important to ask them and to listen!

New @UNFPA research draws on the voices of 109,000 young people across 73 countries. Many want partnership and parenthood, yet worry these goals remain out of reach.

Advancing the rights and choices of women, girls and young people in all their diversity is at the heart of our mission. 🇨🇦 With @‌CanadaDev’s support, 700k+ girls gained essential skills to lead, plan for their future, and stay in school in 2025. #PartnersAtCore

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

Every person has a right to essential services and care, even in the toughest times 🇸🇪. @‌SweMFA’s flexible and strategic funding helped @UNFPA reach over 2.3 million people with life-saving health services in 2025. #PartnersAtCore

Many thanks to @eu_echo for all its support in getting lifesaving supplies to those who need them most.

Investing in HIV prevention is not just a smart public health decision. It requires political leadership at all levels. And it requires bringing HIV out of the shadows, dismantling stigmas, and protecting the rights of those being left behind.

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

Survivors and caregivers have the right to high-quality services that provide safety, healthcare, psychosocial support and justice – all crucial for lasting recovery.

Globally in 2026, $445 million is required to respond to GBV in crises; about 17% has been provided.

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, @unfpachief raises the alarm over escalating reports of children being targeted.

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

Survivors of sexual violence in conflict must be at the centre of every response – and all perpetrators must be held accountable.

Conflict-related sexual violence is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

[Sam Choritz @SamChoritz]

Core funding isn't just for the here and now. It’s a strategic investment in lasting change. Flexible resources allow @UNFPA to build resilient systems that protect the rights & choices of women, girls & young people for the long term ➡️ https://t.co/i0B5QxlN4N

A massive win for maternal health! Bangladesh just committed to deploying 25,000 midwives by 2030: https://t.co/NhTk1fl65V 

As the world faces a 1M midwife shortage, this is a vital investment to save lives.
