Additional Context: When survivors of gender-based violence lose access to shelters, psychosocial support, referrals to health centers, legal aid and other critical services, they face life threatening consequences. Funding cuts risk dismantling the existing network of protection and support that has been built over years by Yemeni women human rights defenders and humanitarian organizations, which in turn makes girls increasingly vulnerable, including to child marriage, human trafficking, and child labor.

This information can be found in Amnesty International's report "Lives at Risk: Chaotic and Abrupt Cuts to Foreign Aid Put Millions of Lives at Risk." The analysis is principally based on public documents, including court filings and executive orders, news and civil society reports, and legal frameworks carried out between January and May 2025. The authors also conducted 43 interviews, and integrated ongoing communication with NGOs, international organizations, public health specialists, and aid workers.
