Mission and objectives

The UNFPA, United Nations Population Fund, promotes gender equality, reproductive health, youth empowerment. The organization was created in 1969, the same year the UN General Assembly declared “parents have the exclusive right to determine freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children”. Together with partners, UNFPA works in 150 countries, and in Ukraine since 1997. Our mission is to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. UNFPA in Ukraine works for: • creating conditions in which every young person can fulfil the potential, lead a healthy lifestyle, know their reproductive rights and take an active social life; • conducting sexual and reproductive health campaigns to improve access to health and care services and improve its quality, especially for young people; • combating gender stereotypes in society (through the media, compulsory education for civil servants on gender mainstreaming, the improvement of national gender policy and anti-discrimination expertise of school textbooks); • providing information and services to gender-based violence survivors through the creation of crisis centres, supporting the work of mobile teams of psycho-social and support, providing expert support and raising general awareness in society.

Context

The war in Ukraine which started on 24 February 2022 has caused civilian casualties and the destruction of vital infrastructure, forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection, and assistance. They are in urgent need of protection and support. A considerable number of people – mostly elderly, women and children, and people with mobility problems – have remained in villages located very close to the frontline. Most of these people are stranded in areas where there is active fighting or which are subject to heavy daily shelling, and often have limited access to services and basic needs, relying mostly on what is being provided by the local authorities, humanitarian partners and volunteer groups. GBV and SRH risks sharply increased due to military activities, massive displacement of population, and deteriorating security situation in a country where the prevalence of various forms of GBV was already high (the 2018 OSCE survey revealed two-thirds of women experiencing either sexual, physical, or psychological violence since the age of 15 years) before the war. With the growing number of reports and anecdotal evidence on conflict-related sexual violence, threats of trafficking for sex, sexual harassment, and other forms of violence, strengthening coordination for GBViE prevention and response was prioritized by the UNFPA, the lead agency in support of the GBV Sub-Cluster. While National UN Volunteer will promote all intervention of GBViE and SRH, supporting the development of comprehensive response in target cities will be the top priority.
