One month since the earthquake, aftershocks & daily instability keep survivors in fear. Damaged shelters offer no safety or privacy. Women & girls face deep distress, with no chance yet to rebuild or recover. They need support now to reclaim safety, dignity & to begin to heal.

🏳️‍🌈 This #IDAHOBIT, we stand with LGBTIQ+ people affected by the earthquake. In crises, existing inequalities deepen & many LGBTIQ+ people are excluded from shelter, services & decision-making. Inclusion must be at the heart of humanitarian response.

In crisis settings, collecting gender data isn’t always safe or feasible. The GiHA Working Group & CARE adapted the Rapid Gender Analysis for Myanmar—creating an observation-based process that helps ensure women and girls are included in response. ➡️asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/digital-lib…
