Super proud of the @UNFPASA team. Amazing work. Now let's get rolling with implementing this incredible and innovative financing mechanism.
Girls must be more than the focus of our commitments — their voices, experiences and aspirations must help shape the solutions.
When girls are heard, included and supported, we move closer to a future where every girl can thrive.

“A society’s development cannot be measured only by its plans or economic output. It must also be measured by whether people can live, learn & move through their communities safely.” — DM @msletsike at the #GirlsPartnership launch in Ekurhuleni.

Almost 1 in 3 women have been subjected to intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence or both at least once in their lifetime, according to @WHO.

A girl is married somewhere in the world every 3 seconds. Child marriage strips away childhoods, education, and futures. Lasting change happens when we listen to and partner with communities.

ALT A card featuring UNFPA Executive Director Ms. Diene Keita speaking at a podium with a microphone, against a blue background displaying the UNFPA logo. A quote on right reads: 'Every girl has dreams for her future – a future full of promise, shaped by her own vision, talents and choices. But for too many, child marriage steals that future away.' There is UNFPA logo in the bottom right corner.

Public trust begins with public facts; and public facts depend on credible, reliable statistics. We must measure with greater precision and leverage the work of NSOs - Mr. Nelson Muffuh, UN Resident Coordinator @UNFPASA

@UNFPASA Country Representative, Mr Yu Yu - development centres around people, leaving no-one behind. Censuses are a priority for the United Nations. Population data drives human dignity.
“Counting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about making people visible.” 📊
At the #Census30 celebration with @StatsSA, the @UNinSouthAfrica Resident Coordinator @nmuffuh highlighted 30 years of evidence-based progress in 🇿🇦.
@UNFPA_SouthAfrica is proud to support population censuses & data that ensure everyone counts! 🧡
#LeaveNoOneBehind #SDGs #EveryoneCounts #Census30
From paper questionnaires in 1996 to the first fully digital census in 2022, Stats SA continues to innovate. As a partner in demographic analysis & population data, @UNFPA_SouthAfrica relies on credible data to advance equality & development.
A census is more than a count of people. It is a constitutional act that must be built on principles that cannot be compromised, regardless of cost, convenience, or political pressure. #CensusAt30 #OfficialStatistics @UNFPASA @SAfmRadio
