UN Women Regional Director at #COP29: Climate, Conflict & Gender in the Arab Region At COP29, Dr. Moez Doraid, Regional Director a.i of UN Women in the Arab States, addressed the pressing intersection of climate change, conflict, and gender in the Arab region. The speech emphasized the profound challenges faced by the region, including: ✅ Rising temperatures at twice the global average. ✅ Severe water scarcity, with 13 of the world's 20 most water-stressed countries located in the region. ✅ The disproportionate impact of these crises on women, who head 40% of conflict-affected households yet own less than 5% of assets. The address also highlighted the ongoing water and food crises in #Gaza, where women and children bear the brunt of overlapping climate and conflict challenges. Despite these hardships, women are not just victims but leaders—driving resilience, rebuilding communities, and contributing to peacebuilding efforts. The call to action focused on: ✅ Ensuring gender-responsive solutions in climate and peace negotiations. ✅ Bridging the $570B climate finance gap to meet the region's needs. ✅ Integrating climate needs into humanitarian responses to better support vulnerable communities. By prioritizing women’s inclusion and leadership, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for the Arab region and beyond.

🚀 We are proud and honoured to be the first organisation ever to present a video of survivor testimonies at the UNTOC COP Working Group of Government Experts on Technical Assistance! 🌟 MD Abdus Salam, HRC's Survivor Empowerment and Communication Officer—and himself a survivor of human trafficking—shared his powerful story. His testimony shed light on the exploitation and operations within organised cyber fraud compounds. 📽️ The 7-minute video was showcased in both the "Working Group" session, consisting of only member states, and the "Constructive Dialogue," where member states, NGOs, and the private sector gather to provide insights on transnational organized crime. 🙏 We extend our gratitude to the leadership of the Global Programme on Implementing the Organized Crime Convention at UNODC for their support. It was empowering and impactful for survivor voices to be shared in meetings with governmental audiences. We are committed to continuing our support for UNTOC to expand its policies to tackle transnational organised cyber fraud!

🌪️ WPS agenda in Yemen needs to address climate change During one of our recent sessions, a group of marginalized women from Al-Mahra shared their powerful stories in the aftermath of Cyclone Tej 2023. The cyclone not only destroyed their homes and lands but also exposed them to violence, harassment, and a lack of support during displacement. They described the harsh reality of being randomly gathered in overcrowded school classrooms, with little regard for their specific needs. Their experience highlights the urgent need for more inclusive and responsive disaster relief efforts. 📖 Learn more about the gendered impact of climate change f in our latest report https://buff.ly/40e6mS0

New #KeepItOn report! Shrinking democracy, growing violence: Internet shutdowns in 2023 With the #KeepItOn coalition, we reveal the most alarming internet shutdown statistics in one single year, impacting millions of people. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has lived through the worst year on record: authorities implemented at least 77 internet shutdowns in 15 countries across the MENA region — the highest annual number of both shutdown incidents and perpetrators on record since 2016. Read our MENA deepdive to see how authorities across the region deliberately interrupted the internet, concealing, enabling, and exacerbating violence, war crimes, attacks on democracy, and other atrocities, crushing human rights in the region. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eYgSdBNn

📢 Join us for a side event at the COP16Riyadh as we explore finance for rangeland restoration and resilience. Rangelands are critical ecosystems that support both biodiversity and livelihoods for millions of people, especially in Africa. However, they are increasingly under threat from climate change, land degradation, and unsustainable land-use practices. The challenge of financing restoration efforts in these regions is substantial. This session will discuss innovative approaches to scaling finance for rangeland restoration and resilience, providing practical solutions to drive action on the ground. Experts will highlight successful examples of public-private partnerships, innovative financial mechanisms, and the role of international finance in supporting sustainable rangeland management. A various set of panellists will showcase initiatives aimed at scaling restoration efforts , with a focus on the East and Southern Africa regions. ➡️ See the details below and join us!

Amidst deepening conflict and escalating humanitarian crisis, Sudan continues to grapple with the consequences of the RSF and SAF power struggle.

We’re thrilled to share the incredible progress of the Bina’ Aljusur (“Building Bridges”) project, a four-year USAID-funded initiative with CRS in Sudan. Despite the ongoing conflict in Sudan, this project is making a significant impact in the agricultural sector while addressing the overlapping challenges of humanitarian crises, development setbacks, and peace-related issues (the triple nexus).    Here’s a snapshot of our successful growth ⬇️   🌾 Expanding Reach: In 2024, we expanded our programming beyond East Darfur into West Darfur and Gedaref, reaching 20,629 families (129,777 individuals) across three states!   👩‍🌾 Empowering Farmers: We’ve hired and trained 52 community and 26 animal health extension workers, 27 of whom are women, to provide climate-smart agriculture, post-harvest management, and social cohesion training and vaccination and health support for those with livestock.   💼 Supporting micro, small and medium enterprises: The number of savings groups/farmers producers’ organizations started and trained has grown from 26 to 78. These savings groups are crucial for businesses when traditional banks are not accessible in remote areas.   🌱 Ensuring Harvests: Despite locust challenges, with the seeds provided, families harvested enough crops to provide food for their families and some seeds for the next season. We exceeded our target of 6,955 families by reaching 8,895 families with seeds and post-harvest support in East Darfur in FY24. This year, we additionally supported 5,000 families in Gedaref and another 5,000 families in West Darfur.    💰 Boosting Incomes: Out of 41 saving and internal lending community (SILC) groups targeted for seeds and post-harvest inputs in FY23, 18 qualified for a Challenge Fund Agribusiness Grant. The 18 groups have generated a net profit of $94,000 which is above the original estimate from their business proposals!   Together, amidst conflict for over 500 days since 2023, we’re building bridges to a brighter future for Sudanese farmers and communities.
