The resumption of violent hostilities in Eastern DRC has led to a surge in forced displacement, deepening the long-lasting crisis and leaving the country on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. Women and girls are disproportionately affected and exposed to increased risks of exploitation and abuse as they face displacement among growing insecurity and violence.

Against this backdrop, it is critical that local women’s rights organizations continue to be supported and take part in all decision-making processes related to humanitarian and crisis response. Women in the DRC make up half of the country’s population and must have a seat at the table to ensure emergency efforts are gender-inclusive and address their urgent needs.

The United Nations Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) has launched an emergency funding appeal to rapidly mobilize urgently needed financing for local women activists in the DRC, whose leadership is more vital than ever before.

Join WPHF and donate today to support women responding to crisis and building peace in the DRC and around the world.

Thank you for your support.

Support Women in conflict-torn DRC

UN & civil society partnership supporting women working to build peace & respond to crises on the frontlines.

The Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund is an innovative partnership empowering local women to be a force for crisis response and lasting peace.

We galvanize support from across the globe to support the efforts of women working on the frontlines of the world’s most intractable conflicts. 

Humanitarian crises and threats to peace are more common than ever before. Studies show that when women are empowered to meaningfully participate in conflict resolution, it undeniably results in more lasting peace. 

Women’s inclusion in peace processes makes humanitarian assistance more effective, strengthens the efforts of peacekeepers, prevents radicalization and the spread of extremism, and accelerates the economic recovery of conflict-affected communities.

Donate today to support the women's vital work to prevent conflict, respond to crises, and accelerate peace in their communities.
