In Myanmar, there are significant regional disparities with women in conflict-affected areas at the highest risk of maternal death and gender-based violence. Myanmar Demographic Health Survey (2015 – 16) highlights that nationally almost 20% of women experience a form of violence of which 3% experience gender-based violence. Women, girls and young people in conflict-affected states are not utilizing SRHR, GBV, or MHPSS services nor exercising their sexual and reproductive rights. UNFPA Myanmar’s Women and Girls First (WGF) Programme has contributed to the empowerment of the most vulnerable women and girls through pioneering integrated sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV) response and prevention services.
