Background
In partnership, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and PMNCH are launching the 2022 Progress Report on the Every Woman Every Child Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2030). The report warns that women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health is backsliding across many crucial areas, concentrated in the world’s most vulnerable populations.
We invite you to:
- Share topline messages about the state of women’s, children’s and adolescents' health.
- Link to the digital report: protect.everywomaneverychild.org
- Highlight the importance of investing in stronger health systems, and empowering women and young people.
