📲 In 2026, AI is rewriting the rules of work, creativity, and intelligence– changing the way we live our lives. But there's one job that still belongs entirely to some very special people. 🎥 We hit the streets of #NewYork to find out what that job is. #MothersDay

The journey to motherhood should be a source of joy, not a gateway to trauma. Yet, every two minutes, a woman dies during pregnancy and childbirth. See how @UNFPA is working to make #motherhood safe: unf.pa/mms #SafeBirth
