United Nations grants 5 million dollars to support Women in conflict zones

The United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) granted UN Women 5 million US dollars to provide life-saving services to women and girls in five crisis-affected countries.

The funding comes from the first-ever CERF Gender Equality Envelope. These resources will help UN Women reach 400,000 women, girls, and their family members in Haiti, Mali, Mozambique, Myanmar, and Syria. The organization will provide these people with psychosocial care, protection services, dignity kits, emergency cash, and livelihood assistance.

The investment also supports local women's organizations that work on the frontlines of humanitarian responses. These funds aim to address rising humanitarian needs and shrinking resources that pressure essential services. UN Women intends to use this money to ensure that women and girls receive support against violence and exploitation while also recognizing them as leaders in shaping community responses to crises.
