📍Goromonzi IOM🇿🇼 joined @MoHCCZim , @IslandHospiceZW , FODPZ, SUCCEED, CBM, & ZIMNAH to commemorate World Mental Health Day under the 2025 theme “Access to Mental Health Services in Catastrophes & Emergencies.” #WMHD #AccessToServices

Approx. 60% of Zimbabwe’s population is rural. Rural women in migration face barriers like limited resources, cultural norms, and exploitation risks. Safer, dignified migration protects everyone. Let’s rise with them. 🌍🌾💪 #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen #RuralWomenRising

IOM🇿🇼 is deeply saddened by the tragic bus crash in Limpopo, South Africa, that claimed 42 lives, including women, men & children traveling home to Zimbabwe & the region. Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. We wish the 49 injured a swift recovery.🕊️ #SafeMigration

On #DRRDay, we recognize the need to integrate Indigenous Knowledge Systems & safe, dignified movement into disaster preparation. IOM 🇿🇼 is working w/ local authorities to do just that. Valuing traditions and enabling mobility builds climate-resilient communities. #FundResilience

🌍 In 2024, disasters displaced 46M+ people. 🚨The impact of Disasters depends on how we build, move & prepare. 🚶‍♀️Mobility, when supported, saves lives. 💡Funding resilience through mobility protects dignity & reduces displacement. #DRRDay #FundResilience

Resilience isn’t built after disaster. It’s built before. On the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we call for bold investment in mobility as a pathway to resilience. Because when people can move safely, they can survive, adapt, and thrive.

What displaced 46M people in 2024? Disasters. What could prevent this? Resilience investment, not endless emergency response. Safe and dignified mobility gives vulnerable communities a pathway to resilience before disaster strikes. #IDDRR2025

“You’re going to be fine, we can start somewhere.” Beitbridge counselors Marian, Lindokuhle & Thama share how they welcome involuntarily returned migrants with hope after devastation. Watch to see how #accesstoservices saves lives. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Mental health is not optional, it is fundamental. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we affirm that the right to health includes the right to mental well-being, dignity, and support. #MentalHealthIsAHumanRight #WMHD2025 #Accesstoservices #RightToHealth

In emergencies, mental health can sometimes be overlooked. Yet for 1⃣in 3⃣ people, the psychological impact is deep & lasting. Securing & protecting mental well-being is just as crucial as safeguarding physical health. Mental health must be part of every emergency response.

"Mental health and psychological support are essential in every sphere of life: families, schools, communities and the migrant community is no exception." Lindokuhle understands that empowering migrants mentally & psychologically will always be needed. #WorldMentalHealthDay

"You cannot talk about health without mental health or the psychological well-being of the person." Meet Thama, a migrant counselor who provides psychological first aid, empowering migrants to navigate the challenges they face in their host country. #AccessToServices

Meet Marian, a migrant counselor in Beitbridge. She witnesses firsthand the distress migrants face when losing personal belongings in detention. Through advocacy & case conferences we help migrants reclaim what's theirs. 💙 #WorldMentalHealthDay #MigrationWithDignity

Where mountains guard centuries-old traditions, women are finding a new source of strength: their own voices. IOM’s Well-Being Clubs help them speak, heal, and inspire.

We continue our World Mental Health Day commemorations & turn the spotlight to reflections from our counselors in Beitbridge, those who support, listen, and uplift migrants every day. Their voices & stories remind us why ongoing support and #accesstoservices is essential.

#WorldMentalHealthDay Not all wounds of disaster are visible, but they are just as real. By listening, supporting, and empowering migrants, our staff help ease distress and build resilience. Today, we honor their work. #IOM #AccessToServices #IOMZimbabwe
