SDG 5 - Gender Equality

More than 60 million women and girls are forcibly displaced and stateless, and they are at particular risk of gender-based violence (GBV). Without more funding, 36 million of them are likely to be unable to access GBV services in 2025. Where there is funding to prevent and respond to GBV, UNHCR will work to maximize its impact, coordinating inter-agency work, encouraging the inclusion of refugee women and girls in national systems, and providing survivors with psychosocial support, legal and cash assistance, and health referrals.
