The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is considered one of the world’s largest, with over 23 million people – 75 percent of the population — in need of humanitarian assistance. In 2022, needs have only grown and the crisis remains one of severe displacement and protection concerns1 . Yet despite the fact that preventing, mitigating, and responding to protection risks – including gender-based violence (GBV) – is one of the three objectives of coordinated response to the crisis in Yemen2 , the appeal for GBV prevention and response of $61.4 million is only 16 percent funded3.The costs of this inaction are the lives, dignity, and futures of millions of Yemeni women and girls.
