Women and girls in emergencies face heightened risks, such as violence, limited access to services, and lack of decision-making power. Despite these challenges, they are crucial to recovery and building resilient communities.

UN Women reached nearly 470,000 individuals across eight countries in the Arab States in 2024, based on data from over 10,000 surveys conducted in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen.

This infographic shows how UN Women’s gender-responsive humanitarian assistance has empowered women and girls, offering them opportunities for economic participation, safety, and protection, and helping them drive change for a better future in their communities.
