A new global report from UN Women reveals a dire warning: half of women-led and women’s rights organizations in humanitarian crisis zones may shut down within six months due to funding cuts. This would have devastating consequences for millions of women and families who depend on their services.
In a global survey conducted by UN Women, 90 per cent of 411 women’s organizations across 44 crisis-affected countries reported being impacted by reductions in foreign aid. More than 60 per cent have already reduced their services, disrupting critical, life-saving support – from emergency health care and gender-based violence services to economic assistance and shelter.
