This World Refugee Day, millions of women and girls remain displaced from their homes — fleeing conflict, violence, and hardship with nowhere safe to turn.

In Gaza, 700,000 women and girls struggle every month to manage their periods amid blockades and bombings. “Sometimes I need pads and soap more than I need food,” said Aisha, a teenage girl sheltering in a crowded displacement camp.

In Ukraine, Olha, a survivor of both war and domestic violence, was forced from her home, barefoot and without her belongings. Thanks to UNFPA, she found shelter, care, and hope.

In Sudan, tens of thousands of homeless mothers, like Sabreen, sleep on cold floors with nowhere to lay their babies. UNFPA midwives like Hawaa risk their lives to reach these women and provide them with medical care.

In Syria, young women like Maryam, who have spent their entire lives surrounded by conflict, find refuge in UNFPA-supported youth centers where healing can begin and hope can grow.

On this World Refugee Day, your lifesaving gift can deliver critical health care, dignity supplies, and protection to women and girls displaced by war and crisis.

Your support is a lifeline to millions of women and girls fleeing war, violence, and disaster from Gaza to Sudan, Syria to Ukraine.

This World Refugee Day, we honor the strength and resilience of displaced women and girls — and we pledge to continue working to reach them all, even in the most devastating circumstances.

Whether sheltering in a tent, sleeping on the floor of a clinic, or seeking safety for their children, women and girls deserve care, protection, and dignity. With your help, we can deliver that care every day, but the need is growing.

If you’re able, will you make a special World Refugee Day gift to support women and girls surviving crises around the world?

Thank you.
