Menstruation is a natural part of life — yet many girls and women still face shame or miss school because of stigma. No one should be denied dignity or care because of their period. It’s health. It’s normal. It’s life. #PeriodFriendlyWorld

In #Yemen, giving birth can be life-threatening. @UNFPA’s cash and voucher assistance is helping women reach safe delivery care — when and where they need it. No woman should have to risk her life to give life. #YemenCantWait

“I cannot unsee what I have seen.” The immense destruction in #Gaza, which @SabertonUNFPA witnessed on his recent visit, is a daily reality for women and girls. They need a massive increase in aid to help them survive and rebuild their shattered lives.

As fighting engulfs #ElFasher, hundreds of thousands — many women and girls — remain trapped without food, healthcare or safety. @UNFPA calls for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and unimpeded humanitarian access.
El Fasher is at breaking point. People are trapped and fighting is advancing further into the city. Ceasefire now, in El Fasher, in Darfur and throughout Sudan.

In #Gaza, nearly a quarter of a million women and girls are starving. 55,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women face acute malnutrition. The #ceasefire offers fragile hope — but the crisis is far from over. Aid must reach women and newborns now.
