Mozambique: Sexual and Reproductive Health Services Boosted in Wake of Storm Ana
14 Feb, 2022
Mozambique may have been spared by Tropical Cyclone Batsirai, but it is still reeling from the devastating impacts of Tropical Storm Ana.

World Day against Trafficking in Person
Human trafficking is a crime that exploits women, children and men for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. Since 2003 the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has collected information on about 225,000 victims of trafficking detected worldwide.
