Fe Kagahastian from CashCap’s Syria response and Reem Khamis from UNFPA talk about the importance of getting Cash practitioners and experts in supporting GBV survivors.

Statement by UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem on women and girls in Ukraine
28 Feb, 2022
As fighting escalates in Ukraine, UNFPA warns of the impacts on women and girls. UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, is deeply concerned about the escalation of conflict in Ukraine. Unless tensions subside in Ukraine immediately, humanitarian needs will dramatically escalate. UNFPA has been working with partners in Ukraine for decades, expanding access to reproductive health and protection services to some of the hardest-to-reach people. We will stay and scale up the delivery of life-saving programmes to people in need across the country. Our priority remains to ensure that the health, rights and dignity of women and girls affected by the conflict are safeguarded, including their right to give birth safely and to live free from violence.

Women and Girls Choose: Cash Assistance in GBV Case Management Saves Lives - UNFPA 2022
02 Mar, 2022
As part of a coordinated response to gender-based violence (GBV), UNFPA and its partners provide a structured GBV case management process to survivors that can include referrals to medical, legal and other specialised services. This process provides a follow-up to challenges that a survivor may be facing, but these services may come with a cost that can be a barrier for survivors, such as transport, legal, or specialised medical costs. To address these barriers, UNFPA colleagues have integrated life-saving cash assistance into survivors’ case action plans. Cash is dignifying, discreet, and flexible, helping survivors to escape violence and violent relationships, seek emergency medical care, secure temporary shelter, and buy food and other essentials for themselves and their children. UNFPA is continually refining its approach based on feedback from cash recipients, their case managers, and implementing partners in the field. This document presents key insights and knowledge gained from...
