The United Nations has said more than 5,000 women and girls have been killed in Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Speaking at press briefing in Geneva today, head of UN Women in Geneva Sofia Calltorp, said that another 14 thousand women and girls have been injured during the nearly two-year conflict.
The figures underscore the heavy toll the war has taken on civilians, particularly women and children, as fighting continues across large parts of Ukraine.
Humanitarian agencies warned that, beyond the deaths and injuries, millions of women and girls face displacement, trauma, and limited access to essential services.
The UN Women report, The Impact of Foreign Assistance Cuts on Women’s Rights and Women-Led Organizations in Ukraine, documented the scale of the funding crisis and its impact on the lives of women and girls.
