Away from the headlines, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan remains dire. Restrictions on women and girls have made them vulnerable and in need of assistance. They need international support. bit.ly/4aLP2G5

In Asia and beyond, women and children disproportionately bear the brunt of conflict and displacement. Together with our partners we work to ensure they receive the protection and support they need for their wellbeing.

Hidden in the shadows of other global crises, the humanitarian situation in Myanmar continues to worsen. Increasing conflict, harsh living conditions & limited access to assistance have added to challenges. UNHCR & our partners remain committed to helping those forced to flee.

War, violence and persecution can shatter lives and tear families apart in the blink of an eye. But amidst the chaos, one constant is hope. We're calling on world leaders to protect the rights of people seeking safety so that they can find #HopeAwayFromHome.

As Christians observe #Easter, we think of Gaza, of Ukraine, of Sudan, of other places where desperate women, men and children are waiting for war to end, for reconciliation to happen, for lives to be rebuilt. May the Easter spirit of resurrection help them keep the hope.

On #IWD, I think especially of our female colleagues in Afghanistan. They continue to work to serve people in need every day, and I was humbled to mark #IWD with them last week in Kandahar.
