Florence is a midwife supported by UNFPA—the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency—in Chad.

Over 13,000 people, including many pregnant women, have been displaced by severe flooding across the country. 

Now more than ever, her life-saving work is necessary.

See how Florence is making motherhood safer for pregnant women affected by this humanitarian crisis.

During her recent visit to Bangladesh, UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem met three young women who are helping mothers deliver their babies safely in the district of Gaibandha, in the far northwest of the country.

In this video, she explains how midwives are making a difference in this remote area, with support from UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency.
