Summary

UN Women’s role: In humanitarian contexts, UN Women identifies and addresses the specific needs of crisis affected and displaced women and girls with all their diversity, including those with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions and sex characteristics (SOGIESC), disabilities, or migratory status.

Throughout the two-pronged approach, UN Women amplifies women’s voices and leadership in humanitarian and crisis response and recovery as a cross-cutting priority through partnerships with local women led organizations and networks.
