This report exposes how global aid cuts—estimated at USD 78 billion—are devastating women’s rights organizations and civil society groups on the frontlines of ending violence against women and girls. Based on a survey of 428 organizations, the report shows how life-saving services are being decimated, prevention work halted, and hard-won progress on gender equality put at risk.

This policy brief shows how overcrowding, abuse, and denial of health care violate their rights and dignity. It calls attention to the urgent need for non-custodial, community-based alternatives to detention that protect rights, provide access to services, and enable migrants to live with dignity while their cases are resolved.

Women and peace and security: Report of the Secretary-General (S/2025/556, 5 September 2025)

Women and peace and security: Report of the Secretary-General (S/2025/556, 5 September 2025) | Women and Gender Studies | Scoop.it

S/2025/556 

The world is experiencing the highest number of active conflicts since 1946, creating unprecedented risks and suffering for women and girls. The 2025 UN Secretary-General’s report on Women, Peace and Security warns that 676 million women now live within 50 kilometers of deadly conflict, the highest level since the 1990s. Civilian casualties among women and children quadrupled compared to the previous two-year period, and conflict-related sexual violence increased by 87 per cent in two years. Issued on the 25th anniversary of Security Council resolution 1325, which committed the international community to women’s full participation and protection in peace and security, the report warns that two decades of progress are unraveling.
