Violence doesn’t stop when funding does, it worsens. In 2025, drastic cuts left millions of refugee women and girls without life-saving gender-based services. Funding for gender-based violence programs must be prioritized. #16Days

Forcibly displaced women and girls are facing unthinkable violence — and many are left without care. Funding gaps mean fewer services, less protection and more lives in danger. Survivors cannot wait. #16Days

Yesterday in Costa Rica I listened to refugee women talk about turning pain into strength. Their stories convey the challenges of exile, but also their potential for change. When women gain access to rights, their leadership brings development to entire communities. #16Days

Safety should not be optional. In 2025, more than 2 million people, in particular refugee women & girls, lost access to lifesaving support due to funding shortfalls. We must do more to protect forcibly displaced & stateless women and girls from gender based violence. #16Days

A connected device is more than just a computer, more than a tablet, more than a phone. It’s school, a bank, a link to home, a window to the world. In Farchana, Chad, this is the reality for Sudanese refugees. Connectivity isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

UNHCR’s Afghanistan chief met FCDO, partners, parliamentarians and think tanks. He shared the realities for returnees amid overlapping crises. Our work - leading protection & driving sustainable solutions - remains vital. Partnership and flexible support are key to stability.

Trigger Warning // children facing malnutrition The only malnutrition centre caring for Sudanese refugee children in Farchana, Chad could close its doors because of funding cuts. Babies—some just one day old—are fighting to survive. This is not okay. They need support now.

No part of Ukraine is safe. The recent aerial strikes on Ternopil, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk are among the deadliest in western Ukraine since the war began.

Violence across Darfur and Kordofan in Sudan is escalating fast. Thousands are fleeing—others are trapped in danger. We can’t afford to look away.
