Statement
Violence against women and girls has invaded all spaces, including virtual ones, and this must end
17 November 2023
The climate crisis is an emergency for everyone, but women and girls are paying a heavy price.
Climate change leads to more unintended pregnancies, more child marriages, more women dying during childbirth, more violence and more exploitation.
As world leaders gather for COP28, UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem calls on them to protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of vulnerable women and girls.
