No surprises, just smart choices. On #WorldContraceptionDay the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Embassy highlights the #SAY programme in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ - giving young people knowledge and access to #SRHR so they can plan their future with confidence! #SRHR4all @UNFPAUganda @MarieStopesUg @CAREUganda @NaguruC @RHUganda
Reproductive agency is a human right. On #WorldContraceptionDay, we demand a future where everyone has the power to choose if, when & with whom to have a child. Choice, intention, access. This is the goal. #WCD2025 #HerRightToChoose #WCDUg25 #wcd2025

Represented by @chelaestherlabu and @nadyrislam , we had the honour of reading Dr. Gift Malungaโ€™s biography and journey as outgoing @UNFPAUgandaโ€™s Country Representative. Dr. Malungaโ€™s career has been dedicated to addressing some of the most pressing health and social justice issues of our time - reducing teenage pregnancy, tackling maternal mortality, and empowering young people to live healthier, more dignified lives. Her work has shaped programs, influenced policies, and most importantly, touched communities across Africa. Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Malunga has been a mentor and role model, especially for young women, encouraging them to claim their space and lead with confidence. As she steps into a new chapter, we celebrate her commitment to health, rights, and equity, a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come. #FireplaceWithUNFPARep

She stressed that young people who are sexually active should have the right to prevent pregnancies and protect themselves from STIs, noting that mixed messages promoting only abstinence have not reduced teenage pregnancy rates over the past two decades. #FireplaceWithUNFPARep
