The lives of women and girls in Lebanon have been dramatically disrupted as violence escalates once again across the country. Pregnant women, adolescent girls, and people living with disabilities are particularly exposed to these dangers. In response to the growing needs, UNFPA is scaling up its maternal health and protection services. UNFPA is also providing gender-based violence services for women and girls, including the clinical management of rape and psychosocial support. Health workers, including midwives, must be able to safely reach those in need and carry out their life-saving work without fear of attack.
