At least one million women and girls lost access to life-saving support over the past year following cuts to global donor aid, according to a United Nations report released on July 10 in Geneva.

This decline in funding highlights growing challenges in sustaining humanitarian operations for vulnerable populations as international contributions shrink. The report signals a critical need for new funding strategies to restore essential support for women and girls worldwide.
