The humanitarian update reinforces that women and girls are bearing the brunt of the crisis, facing an increased risk of gender-based violence, unintended pregnancies, and preventable death due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth.

In response, UNFPA’s life-saving work through the Government of Mozambique is more important than ever as the agency scales-up investment and prioritization for women, girls, and youth, working together with partners to ensure that no one is left behind.
