KATHMANDU, July 11: This year’s World Population Day’s focus on “Vulnerable Populations in Emergencies”, is intended to highlight the special needs of women and adolescent girls affected by the earthquake in Nepal, a press statement issued by United Nations Population Fund in Nepal said on Saturday.
"UNFPA is glad to be actively supporting alongside the Government of Nepal earthquake survivors with life-saving information and services and in participating in the rebuilding of their lives with dignity," the statement added.
The organization has prioritized to empower and safeguard the well-being of women, adolescent girls, and young people and address their specific needs and concerns.
The statement further said that it has been providing obstetric and contraceptive supplies, dignity kits, female friendly spaces, trained personnel to prevent and attend to gender-based violence and reproductive health to vulnerable populations in the affected districts.
"We are engaging with Nepalese youth in empowering the earthquake-affected young people by providing stress counseling and information services on sexual and reproductive health including family planning, gender-based violence, HIV/AIDS, leadership and entrepreneurship skills," the statement reads.
