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.

After more than a decade, the Syrian crisis continues. In addition to conflict, humanitarian needs have increased due to economic crises, disruption of social services, and the COVID-19 pandemic. UNFPA and partners work to make women’s health, safety and dignity a humanitarian priority and mobilize action and funding to support women’s reproductive health and the prevention of gender-based violence.
