Additional Context: This information comes from the WRC report, "A Year of Harms: The Impact of US Foreign Aid Cuts on Women and Girls in Humanitarian Crises." WRC researchers analyzed publicly available evidence on how the 2025 US foreign aid cuts have affected women and girls. Drawing on 105 gender-disaggregated sources from humanitarian crises in 32 countries, the report shows that funding reductions triggered cascading failures in health, protection, education, livelihoods, and civil society systems—impacts that have compounded over the past year.

According to WRC researchers, women's and girl's safe spaces play a central role as entry points for survivor-centered care, psychosocial support, referrals, and protection in crisis settings. These spaces were cited often as being affected by U.S. foreign assistance cuts globally.
