Venezuela Humanitarian Emergency

The sociopolitical and economic crisis in Venezuela continues. Mass migration, hyperinflation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have worsened conditions for many of the most vulnerable Venezuelan communities, including women and girls. UNFPA works to support women and girls affected by the crisis through provision of sexual and reproductive health services and efforts to address gender-based violence.
