Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, with Jamaica and Haiti among the hardest hit.
Entire communities have been displaced. Infrastructure is damaged. And once again, women and girls are bearing the brunt of the crisis. In times of disaster, gender inequalities deepen. Women lose livelihoods. Girls are pulled out of school. Risks of gender-based violence escalate. But with your help, we can act, and we must act now.
UN Women is on the ground across the Caribbean, working with governments, UN agencies, and local women’s organizations to ensure that response and recovery efforts center on the needs, rights, and leadership of women and girls.
Donate today to help protect women and their families affected by Hurricane Melissa.
