🚀 When women can plan their families, societies thrive.

In #India, average fertility has shifted from 6 children to 2 since 1960. The result? More girls in school and more women in leadership.

Today marks three years of conflict in #Sudan.

About 1 million pregnant women need aid.

Most can't access lifesaving care.

@unfpa.org is providing health and protection services but funding gaps mean many will miss out.

Women and girls have suffered horrific violence since the conflict in #Sudan began three years ago.

Many men and boys have been killed or forcibly disappeared.

The health system is shattered and funding low.
