Background

UNFPA has consistently advocated for putting Gender Based Violence (GBV) at the heart of its humanitarian intervention and having a strong emphasis on the humanitarian agenda in Yemen. Within this context, UNFPA not only focuses on life-saving treatment and care but also on protection and prevention measures that respond to the call for maintaining human dignity, even in crisis. After the emergence of the crisis in Yemen, the UN has adopted a decentralised approach of opening operational hubs with a view to have a wider coverage of providing the humanitarian aid to the affected population. UNFPA is among the UN Agencies that is striving to strengthen its presence in all humanitarian hubs in Yemen with a view to improving UNFPA’s humanitarian assistance to women and girls’ needs on the response, mitigation and prevention of gender based violence.
