On Intl Day of #RuralWomen, @UNFPA & @FAO celebrate the central role women in rural areas play in their communities. 🌾 But too many still lack access to health, education and economic opportunities. By empowering rural women and investing directly in their leadership and livelihoods, we can strengthen gender equality and demographic resilience. #IYWF2026

#Uzbekistan is proving that progress in maternal health is achievable and inspiring. Behind every safe birth is a team of people who were trained and equipped to be there for mothers and newborns. 🎥 @unfpachief shows you how progress is made, one mother at a time.

Kazakhstan’s greatest asset is its young people. Engaging discussion on a shared digital future co-created by them, for them. As AI changes the way we live, we all must ensure that digital future is safe. @UNFPA is proud to support youth leadership and innovation.
