World Humanitarian Day
On World Humanitarian Day, 19 August, the world is commemorating humanitarian workers killed and injured in the course of their work, while honouring those who continue to work tirelessly to provide life-saving support to people most in need.
Every day, over half a million humanitarian workers around the world stand on the front lines of war and disaster, braving dangers and difficulties to deliver assistance to people in crises. About 40 percent of humanitarian personnel are women, many of whom work in some of the most dangerous and complex humanitarian responses.
Humanitarian Advisors celebrate and recognise the work of women in crises throughout the world; focusing on the women in some of the most difficult terrains; and praising the efforts of women aid workers from across the world, who support people in need.
Human insecurity has reached alarming levels, with women and girls being disproportionally affected by conflict, violence, and natural disasters. Gender-based violence, including rape and early/forced marriage, spikes during and after humanitarian emergencies. We know that one in five women who are refugees or living in complex humanitarian settings are survivors of sexual violence. Sixty percent of preventable maternal deaths occur during humanitarian emergencies. Today, on World Humanitarian Day, gender equality must start being prioritized in humanitarian action.
