I had an excellent exchange today with MP Sibel Arslan and civil society representatives in the halls of Swiss Parliament.

Delighted to visit Switzerland's seat of government and meet with @UNFPA partners working to advance #SRHR for all.

92 million people need gender-based violence services in crises in 2025, yet funding falls far short.

With #Switzerland's support, @UNFPA is prioritizing & delivering lifesaving GBV services in humanitarian settings.

Together, we take action to #ENDviolence. 🧡

Reproductive rights are the cornerstone of a thriving workforce, productivity and innovation - and @UNFPA’s corporate partners are leading the way in proving this.

⚠️ An estimated 3,400 pregnant women have crossed from #Lebanon into #Syria following the recent escalation of hostilities.

Like any other pregnant woman, they need antenatal and postnatal care to ensure a #SafeBirth.
