The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a devastating toll on women and girls’ safety in already complex humanitarian emergencies. Risk mitigation measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including lockdowns and restrictions of movement, made specific and serious disruptions in women and girls’ lives. These factors also intensified operational challenges to delivering lifesaving gender-based violence (GBV) response services, which in complex humanitarian settings were already an arduous undertaking.
