UNFPA remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring access to sexual and reproductive health services and preventing, responding to, and mitigating the risks of gender-based violence in humanitarian contexts. These efforts are grounded in a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of health, rights, and dignity, aligned with UNFPA’s mandate to lead on both sexual and reproductive health, and the response to gender-based violence in emergencies.

UNFPA’s core mission in emergency responses is to save lives, safeguard human rights and ensure that no one is left behind. Its Humanitarian Response Division spearheads global efforts in crisis preparedness and response, working closely with other UNFPA headquarters units to maximize operational efficiency and effectiveness on the ground. As a global leader in humanitarian action, UNFPA continuously strengthens its operational protocols, delivers high-quality programmes, and drives resource mobilization and advocacy.
