My dignity is back

In times of crisis, the hygiene and health needs of women and girls are often overlooked. This has been true in the crisis in Yemen, where mass displacements have disrupted normal life for countless women and girls. In response, UNFPA is distributing dignity kits, which contain sanitary napkins, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, blankets, headscarves, flashlights and other essential items.
