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.

UNFPA Pacific met with Hon. Ricky Cantero, Acting Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to reaffirm our strong partnership with the Federated States of Micronesia. Together, we are advancing sexual and reproductive health and improving maternal health outcomes nationwide. #UNFPAPacific

Honoured to meet @UNFPAPacific Director & Fiji Rep @UNFPAPacificRep and her team. We discussed joint programming opportunities on migration, climate action, humanitarian support, protection & support to the region. Look forward to strengthening our cooperation in the Pacific

Happy 2026 from @UNFPAPacific Across the region, we are investing in women and girls health, advancing gender equality and human rights, empowering young people in a changing climate, and strengthening data systems to drive smarter decisions. #UNFPAPacific

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ✨ As 2025 comes to a close, we thank our partners, governments, civil society, and youth leaders for standing with UNFPA Pacific to advance SRHR and amplify the voices of women, girls, and young people across the Pacific.

One song can spark a conversation—and in the Pacific, it’s sparking change. Creatives like Tymo95, GardenRootz & Mifala Nomo are helping communities talk openly about SRHR through music & storytelling. Read more: abc.net.au/abc-internatio… #UNFPAPacific #SRHR #BCC

Today on #IDPD2025, we celebrate Georgina Naigulevu, Dir. at @TetraTech, for championing safer, more inclusive digital spaces in the Pacific. Georgina reminds us that digital safety must include everyone to reduce the increased risks of #TFGBV for women & girls with disabilities.

Many countries are strengthening health systems to scale HIV prevention and care. With support from @MFATNZ and in partnership with the Government of Fiji, @UNFPAPacific is expanding prevention that puts rights, choice and equity first. #WorldAIDSDay

You can’t end what you can’t spot. This #16Days—know the signs of technology-facilitated GBV: privacy intrusion, image-based abuse, digital control, online harassment, threats masked as jokes. Spot it. Call it out. Choose consent. Act daily. #EndGBV #TFGBV #UNFPAPacific
