Women’s voices shape inclusive health services. At CWM Hospital in Suva, @UNFPAPacific and the @Sydney_Uni brought women and providers together to strengthen postpartum family planning. With support from @dfat, we’re advancing access to quality care after childbirth.

Pleased to represent @UNFPAPacific at the UNCT with government of Tonga Cabinet meeting.

Over a year after the devastating earthquake in Vanuatu, @UNFPAPacific’s Olana returned to Erasa Clinic to see the impact of post-disaster renovations. Strengthening health facilities means women and girls can safely access essential care when they need it most.

Without sexual and reproductive rights, there is no justice. In Asia and the Pacific, over 4 in 10 women lack full bodily autonomy due to discriminatory laws and norms. Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls. #IWD2026

Today, @UNFPAPacific, with the Online Safety Commission and other partners, marked #SaferInternetDay in Fiji. A digital world is only “better” if it is safe. We remain committed to protecting women and young people from technology-based gender violence and online harms.

In many parts of the world, harmful practices like FGM remain under-measured, not necessarily rare. When data is limited, harm can become invisible — and invisibility leads to silence, inaction, and underinvestment. Absence of evidence is too often mistaken for absence of harm.

When disasters strike, women and girls bear the brunt. SRH and GBV services are life-saving, not optional. Let’s put women and girls at the centre of early response—from RH kits to Safe Spaces and dignity cash #UNFPAPacific #GenderResponsiveDRR #SendaiGAP #SRHinAA
