On #AfricaDay & every day, we're committed to ending harmful practices like FGM & child marriage. With UNFPA, we empower women & girls with access to quality sexual & reproductive health services. Let's pave the way for a future of informed choices & empowerment. #EmpowerWomen
When we normalize periods and share information freely, we empower those who menstruate to take control of their health, break down stigma, and live life on their own terms.
Together for a #PeriodFriendly East and Southern Africa.
Learning about your period should be a positive experience. Let's create safe spaces where young people can ask questions, share their concerns, and feel confident about their bodies.
