In Gaza, the combination of displacement, poverty, and illness is creating a dire situation for women. Reports from the UN sexual and reproductive health agency (UNFPA) indicate a troubling rise in domestic violence, sexual exploitation, and abuse. These factors are contributing to soaring stress levels among families, leading to an environment where violence becomes more prevalent.
As basic services deplete and the humanitarian crisis intensifies, women find themselves more vulnerable than ever. The UNFPA’s findings highlight the urgent need for intervention and support for these communities. Addressing the root causes of this violence is crucial for fostering a safer environment for women in Gaza.
