In #Lebanon, a huge funding shortfall is threatening @unfpa.org’s vital healthcare for women and girls: 🟠 midwives 🟠 skilled childbirth care 🟠 mobile medical units. The cost of inaction will be measured in their lives. Support UNFPA’s work: https://unf.pa/lbd

β€œEvery woman has the right to give birth safely and to thrive, in dignity, throughout her life.” Yes, Ms. Diene Keita! Obstetric fistula is completely preventable and eliminating it is within our reach. See how @unfpa.org is working to #EndFistula: http://unf.pa/cef

#Midwives do much more than deliver babies. They are heroes who: βœ… Prevent unwanted pregnancies βœ… Support survivors of violence βœ… Reduce unnecessary C-sections βœ… Provide sex education Join @unfpa.org to support their life-saving work: unf.pa/mid

Six UNFPA-supported maternity hospitals in #Ukraine have been attacked this year. @unfpa.org Representative to Ukraine Jacqueline Mahon visited the latest one to be struck, in Odesa, to inspect the damage. Hear how the impacts on mothers and newborns are more than just physical.

No mother should have to give birth alone. In crises, women deliver without clean supplies or medical support. For just $5, you can provide a @unfpa.org Emergency Birth Kit and save a mother and her baby. Join Viola Davis and give the gift of a #SafeBirth: https://unf.pa/ebv

πŸš€ When women can plan their families, societies thrive. In #India, average fertility has shifted from 6 children to 2 since 1960. The result? More girls in school and more women in leadership. Let @unfpa.org explain why choice is an economic engine: https://unf.pa/wih #CPD59

Today marks three years of conflict in #Sudan. About 1 million pregnant women need aid. Most can't access lifesaving care. @unfpa.org is providing health and protection services but funding gaps mean many will miss out. See UNFPA Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita's statement: https://unf.pa/tyi

Women and girls have suffered horrific violence since the conflict in #Sudan began three years ago. Many men and boys have been killed or forcibly disappeared. The health system is shattered and funding low. Hear the experiences of women and girls and share to #KeepEyesOnSudan

After Cyclone Remal hit #Bangladesh in 2024, Tamanna’s parents had to choose between her education and feeding the family. They were prepared to marry her off. See how she escaped the fate of some girls in her community, with support from @unfpa.org: https://unf.pa/bao

Access to safe, voluntary family planning is a human right. Yet for millions, reproductive agency remains out of reach. Join @unfpa.org to ensure a future of rights and choices for all: unf.pa/fp #StandUp4HumanRights

After more than two years of war and deprivation in #Gaza, child marriage and early pregnancy are rising sharply, according to new analysis by @unfpa.org. Young people also face emergency levels of depression and anxiety. See how UNFPA is responding: https://unf.pa/sic

Today’s generation of young people is the largest the world has ever seen. By removing the barriers they face β€” such as gender inequality and limited access to health services β€” we can help them build a brighter future. See how @unfpa.org is doing just that: https://unf.pa/aay

🚨 Six UNFPA-supported health facilities in #Ukraine have been damaged in attacks this year. The latest, a maternity hospital in Sloviansk this week. Attacks are putting patients, newborns and staff at risk. See how @unfpa.org is responding: https://unf.pa/suf #NotATarget

The war is taking its toll at El-Obeid Hospital in western #Sudan. Despite limited supplies and frequent power outages, staff work tirelessly to help pregnant women and newborns. Sadly, not all survive. Women and girls need peace and life-saving aid. Share to #KeepEyesOnSudan.

🚨 Attacks on healthcare in #Lebanon and #Iran are significantly limiting women and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health services. International humanitarian law must be upheld. Civilians and health services must be protected. #NotATarget

As conflict in the Middle East puts women and children at risk and disrupts delivery of life-saving supplies for vulnerable people around the world, @unfpa.org Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita echoes the Secretary-General’s call for diplomacy to prevail. See her statement: https://unf.pa/stm

🚨 The intensifying conflict in the Middle East is jeopardising the health and safety of all women and girls in the region. Health workers and services have been attacked. Warring parties must respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians and health services.

Four years of bombing and displacement have taken their toll on #Ukraine's women and girls. @unfpa.org continues to support #SafeBirth, sexual and reproductive health, and gender-based violence survivors but more help is needed. See UNFPA Executive Director, Ms. Diene Keita's statement: unf.pa/sbs

Four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, with 2,700+ attacks on healthcare, women continue to create new life. As they face a bitter winter, Jacqueline Mahon, @unfpa.org Representative to Ukraine, calls for support from leaders: https://unf.pa/wui πŸ—žοΈ @thelancet.com

When conflicts and disasters hit, keeping sexual and reproductive health care and protection services at the core of humanitarian action is non-negotiable. See how @unfpa.org plans to provide crucial services to women and girls: https://unf.pa/HAO26 #InvestInHumanity #HAO2026

Reproductive health and rights imply: 🟠 The right to a satisfying and safe sex life 🟠 The support for those who want to have children 🟠 The freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. And they are a priority. Get all the facts from @unfpa.org: https://unf.pa/srhr
