Zhang Jinling, a midwife of Sichuan University West China Second Hospital, volunteered to go to Wuhan city, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak. She was responsible for providing care and support to critically ill COVID-19 patients and ensuring necessary preventive and protective measures were taken to minimize occupational safety and health risks. The photo shows Zhang’s bruised face after long shifts wearing tightly-fitted protective gear.
“Even the heavy gear makes us sweat, the foggy goggle makes us operate with difficulty, we do not compromise and treat it seriously.”

Councelour-Maria Yolanda Banze--4 de Outubro Secondary School in Ressano Garcia.-In schools near Mozambique’s southern migration corridors, students are taking the lead in building a healthier, more informed and resilient generation. Through the Knows No Borders (KNB) Programme, a regional initiative spanning six countries, IOM supports communities navigating complex mobility dynamics to strengthen sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The programme focuses on people of all genders, including migrants, young people, LGBTI individuals, and other groups in border and trade corridor areas who often face overlapping vulnerabilities, particularly in times of crisis. In Mozambique, this work is rooted in classrooms and community spaces where young people are shaping the conversation around their health and rights.
At the heart of this approach is peer-led education. Trained students, known as change agents, facilitate discussions through interactive methods such as participatory theatre, radio listening groups, and round tables. They explore sensitive topics—from menstrual hygiene and puberty to gender-based violence, HIV prevention, substances abuse and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support—with clarity and respect. Alongside these sessions, a private “cantinho” or safe space staffed by a full-time counsellor ensures access to confidential support and referrals to youth-friendly health services.
A dedicated psychologist also engages with students weekly, offering tailored guidance on SRHR and well-being. Importantly, many young people remain active in the programme after graduation, continuing their role as change agents within their communities.
The initiative is already contributing to measurable shifts, including reductions in teenage pregnancies and school dropouts. These outcomes reflect not only the relevance of the programme but the commitment of students, teachers, and local partners who shape and sustain it.
By investing in young people as educators and advocates, the KNB Programme supports lasting, community-driven behavior change, across borders and beyond barriers.

She and a colleague are providing care to an infant born to a mother who endured a high-risk pregnancy.
“When a baby is in the womb, it is its mother who cares for it; when a baby is born, it is us who welcome it and care for it and its mother. I hope every baby can live a happy life and embrace every journey in its life.”
