“A society’s development cannot be measured only by its plans or economic output. It must also be measured by whether people can live, learn & move through their communities safely.” — DM @msletsike at the #GirlsPartnership launch in Ekurhuleni.

#GirlsPartnershipPlatform

[UNFPA South Africa @UNFPASA]

The Girls Partnership Platform brings partners together with a shared purpose: building stronger, more responsive systems that enable adolescent girls and young women to access opportunities, realise their rights and shape their futures.

[UNFPA South Africa @UNFPASA]

Girls must be more than the focus of our commitments — their voices, experiences and aspirations must help shape the solutions.
When girls are heard, included and supported, we move closer to a future where every girl can thrive.
#GirlsPartnershipPlatform #InvestInGirls #LNOB

[UNFPA South Africa @UNFPASA]

By aligning expertise, investment and action, the Platform aims to strengthen the systems that support girls’ health, education, safety and opportunities.
Because every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive.

[UNFPA East and Southern Africa @UNFPA_ESARO]

A girl is married somewhere in the world every 3 seconds. Child marriage strips away childhoods, education, and futures. Lasting change happens when we listen to and partner with communities.

#DayOfTheGirl #EndChildMarriage #IDG2026

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

Child marriage is the end of childhood for many girls.

This #DayOfTheGirl, join @unfpachief and us in calling for governments and partners to invest in the future of every girl.

#EveryoneCounts

[Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke @SGMaluleke]

A census is more than a count of people. It is a constitutional act that must be built on principles that cannot be compromised, regardless of cost, convenience, or political pressure. #CensusAt30 #OfficialStatistics @UNFPASA @SAfmRadio

[Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) @StatsSA]

@SGMaluleke, DM in the Presidency @NoncebaMhlauli and the Chair of the Stats Council will be on @SAfmRadio from 10h20 to 11h00 today, discussing the celebration of #CensusAt30 in South Africa
