Supporting Women and Girls After the Nepal Quake

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal in April of 2015. Another devastating earthquake struck only days later. Thousands died and millions were affected. Hospitals were overwhelmed and supplies were depleted. 2 million women and girls of reproductive age were among those affected and are now those most vulnerable. UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, will focus on their needs and rights throughout the recovery process.
