I cannot imagine any greater violation and injustice than not even being in a position to decide about what happens to your body. This needs to change NOW!

Bodily autonomy is the foundation upon which all other human rights are built. Yet it has been long neglected by the international community. We can wait no longer and we come together to say #MyBodyIsMyOwn. Learn more from @UNFPA: unf.pa/bod #GenerationEquality

Sometimes amid a crisis, the most simple things can have a profound impact. Such as

Kinengko, a traditional birth attendant or "hilot," has been assisting mothers for almost 5 decades. Today, she reminds pregnant mothers to give birth in health facilities instead for safe and healthy deliveries. Find out why▶️bit.ly/his0121 #HumansofICPD #LigtasBuntis

Our thoughts are with those affected by the huge fire that's destroyed hundreds of homes in the #Rohingya refugee camps of Cox's Bazar. An already tough existence made even more challenging for so many. Thanks to all responders and humanitarians there at this difficult time. twitter.com/Rohingya_ISCG/…

The use of any kind of violence, lethal force, intimidation or harassment against women and girls is unacceptable. The protection, health and human rights of women and young people in Myanmar must be prioritized. twitter.com/UNFPA/status/1…

This is not just about women and girls getting pregnant when they did not plan to - some of them lost their lives due to this. Family planning is a rigth and a life saver!

Just horrific - imagine being in a lock down situation and being exposed to violence in your home with no where to go - we can and must do so much better on preventing and responding to gender based violence

Women and girls have a right to this - no ifs no buts - ideal if we as men and boys are supportive of the choices of women and girls but it's not our bodies so our approval and/or consent is not needed!

Access to safe, voluntary family planning is a human right. Family planning is central to gender equality and women’s empowerment, and it is a key factor in reducing poverty. #LaoPDR @UNFPA
