As #DRCongo hits 10,000 #Ebola cases, fear and misinformation are keeping pregnant women from attending health facilities.
@UNFPA is:
🟠 Building community trust
🟠 Improving care for pregnant women
🟠 Maintaining reproductive health and gender-based violence services.

We welcome her and look forward to working with her on the youth agenda!
Congratulations to Vanessa Nakate on her appointment as Special Envoy for Youth to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
Her work on climate justice and her commitment to amplifying young African voices make her the right person to strengthen the AU's engagement with youth.
The African Union entrusts her with turning youth engagement into real influence — in policies, in programmes and in the decisions that shape the continent.
A warm welcome to the AU family. Wishing her every success in this important mission.

When women control their own bodies, they chart their own destinies.
Funding reproductive health gives women the power to decide what is best for their lives.
