This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we spotlight 6 incredible women leaders helping to save lives in some of the world’s largest emergencies. From Gaza to Haiti, they shared what needs to be done to improve security for female aid workers & better support women & girls facing crises.

Mental health support: "If we don't take care of our #MentalHealth, we can put not just ourselves, but also our communities at risk." - Mona Sherpa, CARE Nepal’s Country Director

More training opportunities: "#Women need to be able to attend training as part of their jobs since often they have limited time juggling family responsibilities & their paid work," - Ebtesam Ahmed, CARE Sudan, Head of Program & Operations

Robust support systems for women & girls: "We need to make sure they know their #rights & have resources available,"- Nahed Abu Iyada, CARE West Bank & Gaza’s Health Program Field Officer

Strong ties with local organizations: “The best way to ensure our work is successful & our staff is safe, is to build strong relationships with people in [displacement] camps & community-based organizations.” - Guerda Previlon, Exec. Secretary, IDEJEN, CARE’s partner org

Women's involvement throughout security processes: “[Women] are the ones most exposed to risks. To keep them safe, they must be involved in every step of the security assessment & process.”- Amina Nazma, CARE’s Sub-Regional Security Officer in East & Central Africa

More support from the international community: “We do what we can to help women & girls in crises but to be more effective, we need more support from INGOs & all members of the international community.” - Anna Borysova, Deputy Director, SSS Ukraine, CARE’s partner in Ukraine.
