Promoting gender-responsive refugee responses at the regional and country level

Under the RRP, UN Women Europe and Central Asia is supporting and coordinating with humanitarian partners, UN agencies and refugee response structures, at regional and country level, to ensure that gender-specific concerns are considered. UN Women is supporting national partners in Moldova to ensure that the most vulnerable refugee women, including gender-based violence survivors and those at-risk, have access to comprehensive and gender-responsive protection services. UN Women has collaborated closely with UNHCR in Moldova, Slovakia and Poland to ensure that the voices of women’s organizations are amplified, while developing capacity-building initiatives for humanitarian actors and knowledge products on gender-responsive humanitarian action.
