Through never-ending humanitarian emergencies like the breakdown of law and order in Haiti, women and girls struggle daily for survival while enduring the insecurities born from conflict, deprivation, and fear.

“It wasn’t easy for me to live through this ordeal,” shared a young woman who survived a brutal sexual assault by gang members while collecting water. “The psychologist helps me a lot… The advice I’d give all young girls who have suffered abuse is to find a place to vent, to see a psychologist, not to try to kill themselves because it's an escape.”

Every day, over one million Haitians, including mothers like Saintelus and countless survivors of assault, confront unbearable challenges as they flee their homes for safety — often forced to take shelter in unsafe areas. Their struggle is made even worse by severe food shortages affecting half the country.

“Because of the shooting, I had to flee my home. I already had one child, and I was pregnant with my second. I had a small business, too, but unfortunately, I can't continue,” Saintelus , a displaced mother in Haiti, shared with a UNFPA psychologist at a clinic in a displacement camp. “When it rains here, I can’t sleep and have to wait for the ground to dry.”

Those pleading for survival in this crisis are in urgent need of mobile health clinics to reach areas cut off from care by gang violence, medicines and supplies for assault, mental health counseling, violence prevention and response services, access to UNFPA Safe Spaces, menstrual and maternal supplies, and other lifesaving care.

UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, relies on the generosity of supporters like you to continue providing women and girls with humanitarian aid where it’s most needed. We are doing everything we can to send critical relief and care, but with over one million Haitians displaced by gang violence, the needs are increasing and becoming even more urgent.

As the displacement, gang violence, and hunger crisis worsen in Haiti — mothers struggling to shield their children from harm and feed their babies, and women and girls are navigating the extreme dangers alone. Will you make an emergency gift today to ensure mothers like Saintelus can live without fear, and survivors of sexual violence can rebuild their lives in Haiti and wherever it’s lifesaving care is needed most?
