In 🇧🇩, 7 in 10 women have faced gender-based violence. Yet they continue to lead with strength and dignity. The #VAWSurvey2024 shows both widespread violence and rising awareness and willingness to seek help. #EndVAW 🔗 tinyurl.com/46zyn532

In Sunamganj today, I met with partners and local communities to discuss progress in #srhr for women & girls in hard-to-access & climate affected areas. Together, we must strengthen health systems & reach every pregnant woman and provide quality care to prevent deaths and fistula
