UNFPA kicked off a campaign from 1 until 11 July on the occasion of the release of the UNFPA's flagship State of the World Population Global Report under the theme "Against my will: defying the practices that harm women and girls and undermine equality."

UNFPA is proud to partner with the fathers, brothers and husbands in Turkmenistan in promoting the value and social worth of women and girls in our families.  

#Arzylyzenan (#Shecounts) campaign aims to flood the social media with positive messages about the value and empowerment of women and girls.  

Here is a sneak peak to what men in Turkmenistan say about special women in their lives: Original Turkmen / English
