With humanitarian needs at record levels, UNFPA aid workers around the world make heroic efforts to support women, girls and those with disabilities, often amidst chaos and danger. 

On World Humanitarian Day, watch UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador Ashley Judd’s call for a worldwide end to violence against humanitarian workers and women and girls.

This World Humanitarian Day, we are reminded that #ItTakesAVillage to deliver care with care and we invite you to join us to celebrate those who are giving help and hope to those who need it the most.

Let's defend our shared planet and help protect the most vulnerable. Learn more.
