UN Women: 1 million women lose aid access due to US budget cuts

UN Women has reported that at least one million women and girls have lost access to essential humanitarian support due to budget cuts implemented over the past 18 months. These cuts, largely stemming from the Trump administration's reduction in foreign aid from the United States, have severely impacted women's organizations globally. Nearly 90% of these organizations are struggling to meet current needs, with many facing temporary or permanent closure, exacerbating issues like conflict-related sexual violence and displacement.
