In regions destabilized and destroyed by conflict and climate emergencies, over 117 million people remain forcibly displaced.
The medical facilities and health workers that migrants rely on are attacked, rape is used as a weapon of war with impunity, and women and girls once again are paying the highest price.
UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, has a clear vision for 2026: essential sexual and reproductive health services, lifesaving interventions, and programs for survivors of violence must be available from day one.
We must act earlier and reach survivors when no one else can — pre-positioning supplies and medicines, deploying and equipping mobile teams, and building a pipeline of expert midwives and counselors so that early warnings lead to early care.
But, we need $1 billion to deliver this care in 2026, and without these funds, our ability to provide essential services including to women and girls around the world will be severely limited.
Will you make a gift to deliver hope to women and girls facing violence in conflict zones who have nowhere to turn for care?

Resources like these can only exist with the generous support of people like you. Will you start the year by making a lifesaving gift and deliver care, dignity, and hope to women and girls in their greatest time of need?

Funding cuts in 2025 led to the closure of 1,000 UNFPA health facilities and mobile health teams — today 12 million women, girls, and newborns are at risk of losing the support they need.
From bedside midwives to post-rape treatment to basic medicines and medical supplies, UNFPA’s work is lifesaving for the world’s most vulnerable women and girls. In Sudan, Yemen, Gaza, Haiti, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and wherever crisis strikes, women and girls are the last to receive care, if at all.
We’ve submitted a humanitarian appeal that would get us back to the budget levels we need to operate at full capacity, but we can’t — and won’t — pause our services as we wait for the decision to be made. We’re depending on your support more than ever to continue lifesaving care. Can you make a gift to provide for women and girls enduring crises around the world?
Thank you for supporting brighter futures for women and girls everywhere.
