Powerful forces are reshaping our world, in ways felt by people everywhere.
Investing in their rights and choices is the only way to build resilience and adaptability.
My reflections in @UN_Chronicle ⬇️: unf.pa/UNChronicleun.org/en/un-chronicle/techn…
Ensuring women and men have equal access to digital technologies isn’t just a tech issue.
It’s key to a more prosperous future for us all 🌏
See how @UNFPA is working to equalize opportunities for women and girls through innovation: unf.pa/ivo#CPD59#GlobalGoals
ALT A card with gradient background from orange to red. The text reads: "Closing the digital gap is essential for global progress." The UNFPA logo is in the bottom right corner.
Meaningful exchange with members of the Global South Coalition for SRHR and Development Justice.
Grateful for their sustained leadership and advocacy.
The voices of the Global South are essential in safeguarding rights and choices.
At the opening of the 59th session of the Commission on Population and Development, @unfpachief had a key message: Our shared future will be shaped by how well we connect:
🟠 People
🟠 Data
🟠 Technology
🟠 Research
🟠 Rights.
@UNFPA stands ready to deliver for all.
#CPD59

An honour to speak at the opening of the 59th session of the Commission on Population and Development.
Population dynamics can be a powerful engine for inclusive growth, resilience and stability.
When we invest in people, we do not just shape the future — we secure it.

482,000.
That is how many women were assisted in delivering babies safely in @UNFPA-supported facilities in 34 countries around the world in 2025.
We are on the ground, ready to ensure women and girls do not bear the weight of conflicts and crises alone: unf.pa/ems

Longer lives aren't a 'time bomb'; they are a testament to how far we’ve come.
When we secure rights and healthcare for older people, we protect the backbone of our society.

A census doesn't just count people, it ensures that people are planned-for and can thrive.
An honour to join H.E. Pres. Tshisekedi and key partners in #DRC on investing in a historic census.
@UNFPA remains your steadfast ally. Together, let us ensure that every person counts.
In-depth exchange with key development partners in the #DRC.
Supporting and investing in the census isn't just a technical exercise—it is the foundation for human capital, peace, and prosperity.
This is the data we need to transform the lives of women and young people.
