What a journey!. After 8.5 years, today I bid farewell to @UNFPA and the @UN family. I leave with confidence that a brighter future for women and girls is within reach. I'll be rooting from the sidelines as my amazing colleagues carry our march of progress forward. ¡Adelante!

For young people to thrive, they need choices – not barriers. Let's listen to what young people want and support them in exercising their rights, making their own choices and enjoying a hopeful future. My #WorldPopulationDay statement:

Every young person has the right to make decisions about their body and future. Whether that means choosing a partner, building a family, or forging a different path entirely—the decision should always be yours. #MyBodyIsMyOwn

Energized after a successful #FFD4 conference in Seville. It was an important opportunity to ensure global financing is set on a path that is inclusive and that puts women and girls at the heart of sustainable development. #GlobalGoals

At @UNFPA, we see the future through the eyes of a 10-year-old girl. Her future is shaped by the choices we make today - on budgets, on partnerships, and on priorities. Let us rise to meet this moment. My remarks at #FFD4:

Investing in the health and education of adolescent girls is not just a moral imperative – it is one of the smartest, most cost-effective economic moves policymakers can make. Let us not let the opportunity she represents slip through our fingers. #FFD4
