UNFPA prioritizes the provision of lifesaving and integrated services for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), prevention and response to gender-based violence (GBV), and mental health and psychosocial support response for women, adolescent girls as well as men and adolescent boys affected by crises.
The capacity of UNFPA partners is strengthened to support GBV survivors, who typically contend with both mental and physical repercussions. Responding to these issues requires health facilities and mobile clinics to provide discreet services to support maternal and newborn health, birth-spacing options and the clinical management of rape. Safe spaces for women, girls and young people and one-stop centres for survivors of GBV offer mental health and psychosocial services.
