Webinar: Adolescent Girls in Humanitarian Emergencies
Adolescent Girls in Emergencies: Evidence of What Works to Prevent and Respond to GBV The GBV AoR Community of Practice is pleased to invite you to a webinar examining the experience of adolescent girls in humanitarian emergencies. REGISTER HERE: https://unfpa.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrduGprD0vEtf4VDEXofM8uzAdeQsXNBXh It is a well-established fact that adolescent girls face a heightened risk of personal safety violations and human rights abuses during emergencies.
