Women bring their babies to a wellness check at UNFPA-supported health tent

Women bring their newborn babies for a medical checkup at a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) health centre in the Ndjenja Resettlement camp, Mozambique, Friday 28 Feb 2020.

 

The climate crisis continues to impact Mozambique and women and girls remain among the most vulnerable. Research shows that more than half of maternal deaths take place in countries impacted by humanitarian crises and fragile conditions, and that gender-based violence is exacerbated in times of crisis.

 

One year after cyclone Idai made landfall in Mozambique, significant health and protection-related needs remain for girls and women.
