Happening Now!
Launch of #SWP2025 & #WPD2025 celebrations.
H.E. @dereje_dugumaMD, State Minister @FMoHealth & H.E. Huria Ali Mahdi, State Minister @Mowsaofficia emphasized on improving access to reproductive health services & information to support informed choices.
Let's empower youth by making a society without economic, social & cultural barriers so they can start a family when they are ready as they desire. Too many young people don't have choices, whether in Seoul or in Seke, for multiple reasons. Let's focus on youth, not numbers.
Seoul and Seke. Two regions. Two stories. One truth. Around the world, too many young people are being denied the power to choose their futures.

A really great read. The new UNFPA ESAR Deputy Regional Director Ms @YoungWHong rallies us this World Population Day, to stop framing young people as a demographic problem, but to see them as the designers of their own future that is fair, inclusive, and sustainable - for us all!

The @UN Charter is not optional.
It is the bedrock of international relations.
We cannot & must not normalize violations of its most basic principles.
Now more than ever, we must respect & re-commit to international law — in words & deeds.

At 2025 Executive Board of @UNFPA, 🇮🇹 Italy reiterated its appreciation and gratitude to UNFPA Executive Director @Atayeshe for her remarkable tenure. Italy has been a trusted partner of #UNFPA, for example supporting its work to improve the protection of women and girls from all forms of violence and abuse, to fight against all harmful practices and promote maternal and reproductive health.
We will continue to work to bring 🇮🇹/UNFPA joint efforts forward.

Let’s be clear:
Any type of harmful practice against a woman or a girl is gender-based violence.
And it should never happen.

Fueled by the war, gender-based violence is on the rise in #Ukraine.
This week, @UNFPA, with support from 🇫🇷, delivered 6 cars to the police, so special units can arrive sooner at the scene and support domestic violence survivors.
The donation is part of a broader program to strengthen the police’s capacities to address gender-based violence.
