Women supporting women: Delivering vital services and lifesaving care around the world

1/6

<p>Women like Kelsang Tshomo, a bus conductor in Bhutan, support women by educating other conductors and drivers&nbsp;on gender-based violence to address it in their own lives and those of public transportation passengers.&nbsp;&copy; UNFPA Bhutan/Sunita Giri</p>

<p>Other innovations on wheels include mobile clinics, like those in remote and conflict-affected parts of&nbsp;Ukraine, where Dr. Ievghenia Kyslytsia, a gynaecologist, examines women for reproductive cancers. &copy; UNFPA Ukraine</p>

<p>Sometimes supporting women&nbsp;comes after a change of mind. Kokarupe Lorwu, Methani Chepurai Lokuda and&nbsp;Chepchongil Cheleston are former cutters in Kenya who, now in their 70s, are&nbsp;speaking out against female genital mutilation for younger generations of women.&nbsp;&copy; UNFPA Kenya/Luis Tato</p>

<p>Other times, that support comes from changing people&#39;s&nbsp;minds. Flavia Buitrón belongs to an organization of Quechua women in Peru that raises awareness of indigenous women&#39;s issues.&nbsp;&copy; UNFPA Peru</p>
