💞 Every child deserves a safe and healthy childhood. @UNFPA's efforts in East & Southern Africa are focused on protecting girls from early marriage and its harmful consequences. Let's unite, raise awareness, and break the cycle of child marriage. Together, we can make a change.

👭Empowering women means creating spaces that facilitate their education, promote their economic participation, and give them agency over their own bodies.

By managing their fertility, women increase their chances of achieving their goals and contributing to their communities.

[UNFPA in Nepal @UNFPANepal]

84 yr old Jwala has lost everything in the recent #Nepal #earthquake.
Disasters can have severe impacts on older persons. As winter approaches, older persons like Jwala will find it even more difficult to live in the open. @UNFPA is on the ground supporting affected families.

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

We express our deepest sympathy to the people of #Nepal affected by the 6.4 magnitude #earthquake.

@UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—is already responding on the ground.

Follow @UNFPANepal for the latest updates on our ongoing humanitarian response 🧡

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I just left Nepal where I saw how glaciers are dramatically retreating.

We cannot retreat.

We need #ClimateAction now to end the fossil fuel age.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today from the base of Mt. Everest, I saw for myself the terrible impact of the climate crisis on the Himalayas.

As temperatures rise, glacier melt increases - threatening the lives and livelihoods of entire communities.

#ClimateAction can’t wait.
