I'm in Doha for #SocialSummit2025. At a high-level roundtable on the Copenhagen Declaration, I underscored that social development and population dynamics are inseparable. People are not merely the beneficiaries of sustainable development; they are its driving force.

Pleased to meet H.E. Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, Health and Social Protection Minister of #Colombia. I congratulated him on Colombia's progress in dismantling structural barriers to health and reducing maternal mortality, which is at a record low in the country. #GlobalGoals

Every person has the right to determine their own destiny, but not everyone has the power to choose. At #ICFP2025, I called for urgent action to achieve equity and advance #SRHR for all. We can build a world defined not by unmet need, but by fulfilled potential.

When women can plan their pregnancies, nations can plan their futures. At a high-level Ministerial roundtable, I reaffirmed the importance of sustainable financing for family planning. Together, let's finance choice, fund equity, and secure a brighter future for all. #ICFP2025

What a privilege to join inspiring young leaders at the #ICFP2025 Youth Summit in Bogotá, Colombia. Ingenuity is everywhere —opportunity isn't. It’s time to share power, build trust and invest in youth-led change for #SRHR. That’s the pathway for inclusive and lasting progress.

Deeply concerned about the communities in the Caribbean affected by Hurricane Melissa. Health systems and protection services are severely disrupted. @UNFPA is providing urgent support for women and girls, deploying mobile health teams and emergency supplies.

I condemn the shocking attack carried out at El Fasher Maternity Hospital in #Sudan. Hospitals, meant to be sanctuaries of healing and hope, have been turned into scenes of mass killing and despair. The world must not stand silent. My statement:

On #UNDay, I addressed the European Parliamentary Forum for #SRHR and engaged with Members of Parliament from 11 countries. Our collaboration is vital in demonstrating that rights and choices are the foundation of resilient societies that can thrive through demographic change.

Delighted to participate in the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies. Gender equality is a strategic imperative that underpins broader peace, security and development. A feminist approach to policymaking provides a blueprint for resilience and renewal.

Feminist diplomacy sends a message to the world that women’s rights are not negotiable. In France's National Assembly, I joined an important discussion on the centrality of #SRHR to feminist foreign policy.

Imagine a world where women and girls are healthier, and where our societies are more prosperous, inclusive, and resilient. When we invest in women’s health, we invest in global wealth. My remarks at the #WHS2025 plenary session: https://t.co/sAZYZhtr9P

Innovation in women’s health remains underfunded and overlooked. @UNFPA wants to rebalance that equation. Pleased to join #WHS2025 side event on health equity by design. When women’s health advances, the world advances too. #GlobalGoals

I strongly condemn today’s attack on a @UN aid convoy in Ukraine’s Kherson region. @UNFPA had nearly 800 hygiene kits onboard containing essential items for women, girls & older people. We call for the protection of civilians & safe, unimpeded access for humanitarian workers.
