On World Humanitarian Day 2019, UNV celebrates the contribution of UN Volunteers and others to humanitarian work worldwide, in partnership with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). We pay a special tribute to the millions of #WomenHumanitarians – both the women caught up in crises who are often the first to respond, and women humanitarians around the world who rally to help people in need.
Across the Arab States, humanitarians have been making real change in peoples’ lives, whether on the frontlines in conflict-ridden contexts or within their own communities.
