Meet Jahura, a 13-year from #RohingyaCamp in #CoxsBazar - her story is a testament to the transformative power of our work in the community.
Our eight #MHM friendly facilities in the camp are empowering young girls to embrace their bodies and break the stigma.

"We're losing that individuality if we stop teaching writing at schools. Human writing can be so beautiful, and there are aspects of it that computers should never co-opt." @edward_the6 https://t.co/yLI2XQjhVS
What if genocide, not war, was considered the central problem of International Relations? How would the study of international relations be different?
I ask that question of my Intro to IR students. Here's what we discussed.

#GenderBasedViolence has many faces, and economic violence is one of them. To end GBV, we must also end the economic disempowerment and underrepresentation of women and vulnerable groups.
Great campaign by @HSBC_UK and @Hestia1970 to raise awareness about #EconomicAbuse. 👏
UNFPA Philippines, through the support of the Government of Australia, launched its first sea ambulance named M/B WHoW 2 as part of its ongoing assistance to Typhoon Odette-affected communities in the Caraga region.
Women & children protection units are not functional in many #OdettePH affected areas, #GBV risk increases among vulnerable women and girls.
With the help of women-friendly space #WFS facilitators, we bridge the gap and strengthen efforts to end #UnintendedPregnancies.
@UNCERF
In emergencies, over 20% of displaced women experience sexual violence - and many lose access to #SRH services, incl contraception. Thanks @UNCERF & your support,UNFPA provided #dignitykits w/solar lamps & radios so they are better protected even w/ limited access to electricity.
Almost 100 Southern Leyte #GBV service providers across sectors all gathered in Tacloban today for the 4day Multidisciplinary Team Workshop by @unicefphils@planphilippines with @UNFPAph support.
Privileged to discuss about GBV and Survivor-Centered care with this group. 🧡
My week in photos: Finally got to meet and personally thank the Facilitators at the Women-Friendly Space in Limasawa. Despite being affected by Typhoon Odette themselves, the amazing women stepped up to raise awareness about #GBV prevention & response in their communities 🧡
My week in photos: joining the distribution of Solar Lamps, Solar Radios, and Dignity Kits to the local women of Limasawa Island. These items aim to reduce the risk of #GBV in disaster-affected communities.

It was a privilege to collaborate with DOH Region 8 on building the capacity of healthcare workers to provide sensitive, compassionate and effective #mentalhealth and psychosocial support for #GBV survivors and communities affected by #humanitarian emergencies. 🧡
UNFPA w/@DOHgovph conducted a 2day workshop on Mental Health Psychosocial Support #MHPSS in S.Leyte.
Training healthcare workers in providing basic support & security on #GBV & mental well-being is vital to ensure humanitarian responses will do no harm to affected communities.
We cant be saying community and mean cliques. Community building isn’t aesthetics & vibes. Its building solidarity across struggles, its intergenerational and outside ppl like us/comfort zones. Times are too urgent to not find ways to advance each other’s liberations rn
Inspiring engagement of Exec Dir @Atayeshe w/ pregnant women during a focus group discussion on accessing reproductive health services and psychosocial support for women & girls affected by typhoon #OdettePH inside a community health station. #Philippines#TyphoonRai
“One cannot postpone one’s due date because of calamity. @UNFPA’s @UN deployment of assistance on women’s reproductive health needs saved lives.” Governor of Southern Leyte Damian Mercado during a lunch meeting w/ Dr Natalia Kanem @UNFPA Executive Director
