Midwives can deliver up to 90% of essential reproductive & maternal care, yielding up to a 10x socioeconomic return. At a #UNGA Side Event, @unfpachief recognized #Bangladesh, #Sweden & others for landmark investments to integrate midwifery into primary healthcare and save lives.

.@unfpachief, Ms. @DieneKeita delivered a thought-provoking but simple message at @OCHAFunds UN General Assembly side event looking at how we reach the 87 million people in greatest need. Women must be able to give birth safely, even in crises. #UNGA

A boy was born at 2:05 a.m. in the shelter of #Kyiv Maternity Hospital No. 2, during last night's ballistic attack: windows and doors blown out on five floors. No one in the hospital was hurt. No woman should have to give birth through a night like this.

Every woman and girl should have the freedom to make informed choices about her own body free from coercion, discrimination and violence. I’ve announced new UK funding to help millions more women and girls take control of their futures.

At #UNGA, I joined Uzbekistan & UNFPA to champion demographic resilience over demographic anxiety. Nigeria’s demographic dividend relies on investing in our people, from expanding NELFUND student financing to empowering women, boosting digital skills, and strengthening healthcare. When we invest in human dignity, economic resilience follows. 💬 What investment in human capital matters most to you right now? Drop your thoughts below! #DemographicResilience #HumanCapital #NELFUND #NigeriaAtUNGA

Every #SafeBirth begins with skilled care 🧡 In #Bangladesh, @UNFPA supports efforts to strengthen midwifery and ensure women give birth safely, with dignity and respect. Hear from #midwives what inspires them to help women and girls through their pregnancy journeys. #UNGA

“We need funding because people are dying.” @unfpachief spoke at yesterday’s @UNOCHA #UNGA side event with @UNReliefChief on how to reach those hardest hit by crises when funding is limited. It’s critical women can give birth safely and access essential reproductive healthcare.

Companies, governments and partners joined @UNFPA Deputy Executive Director (Programme) @BoehmeCatharina during our first #UNGA side event. Let's turn demographic intelligence into investment, investment into action, and action into more resilient workforces and economies.

The question is what we choose to invest in today to shape the outcomes of tomorrow."

Muhindo was a child soldier in the #DRCongo. But after training in peacebuilding, supported by @UNFPA, he now helps thousands of young people turn away from violence. On the #InternationalDayOfPeace, read his inspiring story: unf.pa/ctv #ActNowForPeace
A close-up photo of a man, Muhindo Kamate, standing in the middle of a crowd and speaking into a megaphone which he holds to his mouth. A quote from him in overlaid text reads “When a young person has a dream, they lay down their arms just like I did.” The UNFPA logo is in the bottom right corner.
