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.

Inspired to moderate a panel with Ministers and senior officials from Moldova, Serbia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Armenia. A strong message that Demographic Resilience requires: • Comprehensive policy packages • Whole-of-government action • Placing human capital at the centre.

“For too long, we have dismissed social rights, health, education, and institutional trust as ‘soft’ security. But there is nothing soft about accessible healthcare, affordable housing, children protected from poverty, and rights respected at work. These are not secondary issues. They are the foundations of a stable democracy.” – @alain_berset , Secretary General of the Council Europe, stressing the impact of building demographic resilience for security and democracy. #LeadingChange2026

“Our commitment is clear: instead of politics of fear, we are building politics of resilience. Instead of short-term measures, we are creating a long-term strategy. Instead of declarative commitments, we are implementing systemic solutions,” said Hristijan Mickoski, Prime Minister of #NorthMacedonia. “That is precisely why we are here today – not to speak with fear, but with responsibility. Not to create a sense of helplessness, but to collectively build a vision for the future.” #LeadingChange2026
