Sri Lanka is experiencing a socio-economic crisis. Months of acute shortages of essentials like food, medicines, fuel and access to basic services resulted in a complex humanitarian crisis severely affecting the population, especially women and girls. 

This crisis is contributing to lasting and life-threatening consequences due to the lack of basic health services for women and girls. UNFPA is on the ground delivering essential life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable. These services include:

• Distributing essential Emergency Birth Kits for pregnant women to ensure a safe delivery in a crisis situation.

• Distributing Mama Kits to provide new mothers and their newborns with the essentials they need. 

• Providing cash assistance to pregnant and new mothers to access life-saving health services. 

• Deploying trained midwives to ensure safe deliveries for pregnant women. 

• Distributing Dignity Kits to women and girls to maintain proper hygiene.

• Providing access to psychosocial support for survivors of gender-based violence.
