Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF)’s Post

In five years, the number of women and girls in conflict areas rose by 50%, reaching 614 million in 2022. They are crucial in preventing and responding to conflicts, yet they lack flexible and sustained funding. At the global level, the Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) and country financing mechanisms under United Nations OCHA support local women-led organizations, which are vital for sustainable peace. ➡️ Read Bjorg Sandkjaer's Q&A: https://lnkd.in/dfUMfuiJ #WomenPeaceSecurity #HumanitarianAction Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

It's been one year of war in #Sudan. 8.6 million people displaced. Over 14000+ women, children, men, killed, although it is suspected that the numbers are much higher. Thousands tortured, hundreds of women and girls sexually assaulted, and countless numbers have been forced to marry fighters for protection. Children are starved, and the country is on brink on famine. The war is relentless, and spares no mercy for civilians. Everyday is a downward spiral. Hala Al-Karib of Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network speaks with Al Jazeera English on the situation for Sudanese people and highlights that "women's bodies have been used as weapons" with sexual violence rampant. More must be done to stop the war and protect civilians. #ihl #keepeyesonsudan #crsv #sexualviolence #unscr1325 #wps NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) UN Women UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA) Women's International League for Peace and Freedom - WILPF FEMNET - African Women's Development and Communication Network https://lnkd.in/gUCP7rP3

Ahead of #WorldHumanitarianDay, Plan International Ukraine joins over 60 other humanitarian organizations working in Ukraine to pay tribute to the humanitarian workers and volunteers who have lost their lives while providing life-saving emergency assistance to civilians. It is also an opportunity to restate our joint commitment to helping those in need. The UN estimates that nearly 15 million people, almost 40% of the population, are in in need of humanitarian assistance, including nearly 3 million children, 3.4 million older people, and 3.6 million internally displaced people. Plan International East and Central Europe Response Director Sven Coppens said: "Plan International Ukraine is committed to continuing working with its local partners to address and reverse the dire consequences of the war by promoting an age and gender approach to the humanitarian response and to identify both-long term and localised solutions. We must continue working together to overcome the growing unmet and complex needs in Ukraine."

🇺🇦 New Brief 🇺🇦 from Nonviolent Peaceforce, Helping to Leave, & The Way of Ukraine Charitable Foundation ➡ The movement from Russian-occupied #Ukraine to Ukrainian-controlled territory entails numerous protection risks as people travel through regions heavily affected by conflict and into #Russia, subjected to at least two security screenings, all before crossing into Sumy region of Ukraine via the Kolotilovka (RU)-Pokrovka (UA) border checkpoint. 📢The Government of Ukraine, national and international humanitarian organisations, civil society groups, and international donors can take several steps to better respond to protection risks and challenges faced by #Ukrainians returning from occupied area.  https://lnkd.in/ea4-qhCy

Afghanistan's Humanitarian Crisis (Poverty, Unemployment, and Hopelessness) : A Call to Action The people of Afghanistan are facing a devastating humanitarian crisis, with widespread poverty, unemployment, and a profound sense of hopelessness. This alarming situation threatens not only the well-being of Afghans but also global security. To address this crisis, the international community must prioritize the needs of the Afghan people over political or military considerations. Restoring foreign aid, investing in sustainable economic development, and protecting human rights are crucial steps. However, the key lies in empowering the Afghan people to lead the transformation of their country. The world must stand in solidarity and support their efforts to rebuild their lives and their nation. #Afghanistan #HumanitarianCrisis #GlobalSecurity #EconomicDevelopment #HumanRights #WomenRights

Two years since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine, an estimated 3,238 women and girls have been killed; while 56 per cent of approximately 4 million internally displaced are women. Predictions for 2024 are somber, with 8 million women and girls in need of humanitarian assistance. Amidst the challenges of war, women and women-led organizations are playing a significant role in providing humanitarian aid, supporting their communities and sustaining the economy. In 2023, UN Women provided humanitarian response to more than 45,000 women and girls, with 100,000 dependents indirectly supported, through life-saving humanitarian assistance, psychological support, legal aid, and referrals to social services. UN Women also disbursed USD 10.6 million to support women and women-led civil society organizations nationwide. Together, we must continue to safeguard the health, rights and dignity of women and girls in Ukraine.

On the last few months in Ukraine, I've gained a deep understanding of the situation on the ground. Among the various challenges faced by civilians caught in the conflict, one group particularly stands out: the elderly men and women living near the frontlines. The hardships they endure are immense, not only due to the immediate dangers but also because of the significant barriers they face in accessing essential services and understanding the humanitarian aid mechanisms available to them. This revelation highlights an urgent need for tailored support and outreach to ensure our most vulnerable are not left behind. Let's discuss ways to bridge this gap and provide the necessary assistance effectively. #Ukraine #HumanitarianAid #ElderlySupport"
