This year we will be joining the global community in commemorating the Day of the African Child (DAC) on the 16th of June 2026 under the theme: “Ensuring universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene for every child in Africa.” @communitypodium @SAYWHATOrg @wildtrustzim

5 years ago the Sanitary Wear For Happy Days Campaign was launched. A number of initiatives came through from partners who believed in the vision. The call to bridge the gap & ensure that no girl child is affected by period poverty continues to all. #SanitaryWearForHappyDays

A delegation of the @UNFPA Technical Division, Gender and Human Rights Branch, Alexandra Robinson - Global GBV Advisor and Erin Gerber - GBV Response Specialist, are in Zimbabwe to gain a deeper understanding of the implementation and impact of the #WomenAtTheCentre programme. Today, the team paid a courtesy visit to the @mwacsmed where the Permanent Secretary Dr. Mavis Sibanda expressed appreciation for the strong partnership between the Government of Zimbabwe and UNFPA. She highlightedthe programme’s role in strengthening quality survivor-centred services and appreciating the development of the GBV Case Management curriculum, which is implemented in partnership with the Council of Social Workers and Academic Institutions. Women at the Centre is a four-year initiative aimed at strengthening GBV case management systems. In Zimbabwe, the programme is being implemented in Bubi District, bringing critical GBV services and economic empowerment initiatives closer to women and girls in rural and underserved communities. #WomenAtTheCentre #EndGBV #UNFPAZimbabwe #LeaveNoOneBehind

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who honoured our invitation and contributed to today's discussion on addressing child marriages in Zimbabwe. We are especially grateful to our speakers and participants for sharing valuable insights, gender perspectives, community experiences and practical solutions that can help protect children and create opportunities for young people to thrive. Meaningful change begins with informed conversations, collective action, and community commitment. Together, we can break the cycle of child marriages and build a future where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. #CikoloNdukonoMwanamusimbi #YCA4SoTra #EndChildMarriage #ProtectTheGirlChild #TheFutureIsNow #SheDeservesMore @euinzim @SaveChildrenZIM @SAYWHATOrg

We are pleased to be participating in the 2026 Evidence to Impact Symposium in Nairobi, bringing together more than 300 researchers, policymakers, practitioners, advocates, funders, and youth leaders committed to advancing adolescent wellbeing through evidence-informed action. Today, our Regional Director @LillianBagala will join global experts to discuss why measuring menstrual health matters for adolescent wellbeing and policy action. Menstrual health influences far more than a girl's monthly experience. It intersects with education, mental health, dignity, safety, and economic participation. Yet these realities are often overlooked when evidence is generated, policies are developed, and resources are allocated. Through the @ArchitectureforMenstrualHealth Indicators (AiMHI), we are working to strengthen the measurement of menstrual health so that decision-makers have the evidence needed to design responsive policies, prioritize investments, and improve outcomes for adolescent girls and young women. We look forward to contributing to conversations on how better data can drive better decisions and ultimately, greater impact. #Evidence2Impact2026 #Evidence2Impactsymposium2026 #EmpowerAdolescents #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Investing in youth health is investing in Africa’s future. Stronger policies, meaningful youth engagement, and sustained commitment are key to advancing AYSRHR across the continent. Says @nellymunyasia #RHNKPanAfricanConference2026

Pregnancy should not mark the end of a girl’s education. Through the SHE SOARS project, we are working with partners to advance the rights of pregnant and parenting learners and support pathways back to education. The Ministry of Education’s School Re-entry Circular provides an important framework for ensuring that girls who become pregnant can return to school, stay in school, and complete their education. Now, the priority is accelerating implementation of the Circular at all levels of the education system, while addressing the stigma and barriers that continue to push girls out of school.
