The ongoing armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine continues to take a toll on the well-being of millions of women, girls and young people. Access to livelihood opportunities and basic services, including life-saving sexual and reproductive health care and information, has been severely disrupted. Many health facilities near the 'contact line' between the government-controlled and non-government controlled areas lack medicines, equipment and staff. Gender-based violence is also pervasive but cases go under-reported. A rapid scale-up of services is needed to meet urgent health and protection needs. UNFPA supports health facilities in Eastern Ukraine and provides services in affected communities through mobile SRH and GBV teams.

UNFPA has delivered a total of 370 sexual and reproductive health kits (including for post-rape treatment) and 38,000 gynaecological kits to hospitals and clinics in conflict-affected regions of eastern Ukraine since beginning its humanitarian response in September 2014.
These supplies, delivered as part of UNFPA’s continuing work with Ukraine’s Ministry of Social Policy to address the needs of the most vulnerable, help ensure access to reproductive health services and save the lives of mothers and newborns.
