Gender-based violence must be prevented! Prevention and response services must be supported and prioritized. And funding must be sustained for life-saving humanitarian programs to ensure refugees and other forcibly displaced people can meet their basic needs. #16Days https://t.co/vwGWFmQ2Ue

Many displaced women + girls are skipping meals, kids are being sent to work instead of school and some may have no options but to beg or engage in the sale/exchange of sex to survive. Too many are facing heightened risks of exploitation, trafficking, child marriage and violence.
