UN warns that reduced funding cuts aid to one million women and girls
A report issued by the United Nations Women's organization revealed that reductions in international funding have led to the loss of access to vital services for at least one million women and girls over the past year, especially as support for women's organizations has declined and demand for their services has increased. The report indicated that approximately 120 million women worldwide are in need of humanitarian assistance, and that 40% of women's organizations in countries such as Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Haiti may face the threat of closure due to funding shortages. Additionally, the provision of safe spaces and gender-based violence services has been affected, with services for case management and follow-up also shrinking.
