Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) robs millions of girls of their bodily autonomy. We are looking for men and boys involvement to #EndFGM by 2030. It is about time we end this practice! Are you with us? #MenENDFGM
Our goals at @UNFPA are simple, but their impact is profound: every pregnancy wanted, every childbirth safe, every young person’s potential fulfilled, and everyone counted – because everyone counts.
My remarks at the #UNFPAEB: https://t.co/l6wrbWKOo8
The journey to motherhood should be a source of joy, not a gateway to trauma.
Yet, every two minutes, a woman dies during pregnancy and childbirth.
See how @UNFPA is working to make #motherhood safe: https://t.co/J42BZr6pbm

#DidYouKnow: In 2025, @UNFPA remained the world’s largest provider of contraceptives.
Family planning is central to women’s empowerment and gender equality, and a key factor in reducing poverty.

Access to safe, voluntary family planning is a human right.
Yet, it’s out of reach for millions.
Let @UNFPA explain why family planning is central to #GenderEquality and women’s empowerment: https://t.co/MrXNDS9FWc

Treating obstetric fistula – a childbirth injury – is about more than health and dignity. It's a smart decision.
When a woman gets well, she can work to support her family, while fixing the problem saves future medical costs.

Despite funding cuts and a backlash against women’s rights, @UNFPA continues to deliver for women and girls.
With @UNICEF and the @GPtoEndFGM we save hundreds of thousands of girls a year from female genital mutilation.

I'm delighted to welcome our new Deputy High Commissioner, Awa Dabo @Dabokunda, who recently joined our Office, bringing a wealth of @UN experience.
Welcome, Awa! Your commitment and leadership will be invaluable as we continue our efforts to protect human rights for all.
Africa’s true test of sovereignty is also happening in maternity wards, rural clinics, and the hands of frontline health workers.
In a powerful new op-ed, H.E President of Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan and Africa CDC Director-General Dr. Jean Kaseya call for urgent action: Africa cannot achieve real transformation while women and newborns are left behind by systemic health gaps.
By rallying around the "Three Zeros" agenda and the "Jiongeze Tuwavushe Salama" vision, African nations are moving from promises to action: delivering quality, emergency-ready, and country-led healthcare for every mother and child.

⚠️ #Midwives are the single most important factor in stopping mothers and babies dying during childbirth.
Yet there’s a global shortage of nearly 1 million midwives!

Menstrual health is a human right.
Yet, millions lack access to menstrual products and adequate facilities.
On Thursday's #MenstrualHygieneDay & every day, @UNFPA works to improve menstrual health, ensuring dignity for all. https://t.co/uzGCk6knnq
Access to menstrual health is a necessity, not a luxury.
When women and girls can manage their periods with dignity, they can stay in school, lead in their workplaces, and shape their futures.
On #MenstrualHygieneDay, join @UNFPA to ensure that everyone gets the care they need.
Proud to seal @UNFPA's renewed partnership with @AfDBGroup and solidify our commitment to put maternal health and demographic resilience at the heart of Africa's economic transformation.
Our vision: mobilizing smart investments in Africa's future that help everyone thrive.
