The war against Ukraine has led to the largest and fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe and one of the biggest security threats since World War II. UN Women is committed to ensuring that women and girls are not left behind in the war against Ukraine. UN Women’s engagement with humanitarian and refugee response space is more critical than ever to ensure that humanitarian response prioritises women and girls’ voices and needs within the Regional Refugee Response. UN Women’s humanitarian strategy outlines two approaches – i) supporting the mainstreaming of gender in the coordination, planning, prioritization, financing of humanitarian response in the immediate aftermath of emergencies and humanitarian crises; and ii) contributing to long term recovery and protection of rights of women and girls in emergencies and protracted crises through the nexus approach.
UN Women Europe and Central Asia Regional Office (ECARO) is working across the regional humanitarian and refugee response architecture to ensure a gender-transformative response framework. In April 2024 UN Women ECARO started implementation of its regional project funded by Japan MFA and aimed to address some of the most pressing issues facing women and girls affected by the impacts of war and displacement in hosting countries, namely Poland, Slovakia and Georgia. In alignment with the Regional Refugee Response Plan, the project objective is to ensure that Refugee women and girls are protected and empowered through a strengthened gendered refugee response and gender security in hosting countries. The project is expected to support Local key stakeholders, including host government bodies, women-led and women rights organizations (WLO/WRO) and refugees-led organizations, to increase resources to integrate gender into the refugee response and WPS continuum in Slovakia, Poland and Georgia as countries hosting the Ukrainian refugees.

These anniversaries is the opportunity to assess a current progress of implementation of BPfA, CEDAW, UNSCRs and SDGs commitments and suggest practical solutions to shift promises to practical actions at all levels to bring long-waited transformative results to women and girls.

By this, UN Women expects partners to be better prepared to meaningfully contribute to B+30 regional review planned for October 2024 and the B+30 global review in March 2025 by agreed common messages and suggested solutions/actions to member states on how 1) to address the existing GEWE challenges and gaps in the crisis context in line with the and WPS international commitments; and 2) how B+30 progress review could catalyze efforts on WPS agenda implementation.
