Climate & Conflict Crises

Crises created by armed conflict, climate change, natural disasters and other emergencies lead to a loss of healthcare services and reproductive healthcare is often overlooked in the rush to provide aid. MSI works in crises settings to ensure women can access the contraception, safe abortion and other reproductive health services when they are at their most vulnerable.

 70% of people living in poverty are women meaning they have fewer resources when crises strike.

In times of crisis, women and girls face
a significantly increased risk for unwanted pregnancy, gender-based violence,
STIs and maternal mortality.

14 million women
are at risk of losing
reproductive
choice due to
climate
disruptions.

Empowering women is a  top solution to reverse global warming  according to Project Drawdown.
