Haiti Humanitarian Emergency

Political instability, gang violence and the impact of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in 2021 have escalated the complex humanitarian crisis in Haiti. Access to social services is compromised and risks of gender-based violence (GBV) heightened. UNFPA strengthens capacity at health facilities so that women and adolescent girls can access sexual and reproductive health services, and supports survivors of GBV.
