One million women and girls lose access to support amid aid cuts: UN
The United Nations warned on July 10 that at least one million women and girls had lost access to critical support due to dramatic cuts to foreign aid spending since January 2025.
In a fresh report, the U.N. Women agency decried a collapse of women's organizations at a time when needs are soaring.
U.S. President Donald Trump slashed foreign aid after taking office last year, while other key donor countries have also been tightening their belts.
"The women's organizations at risk of being shut down are on the frontlines of the world's most severe humanitarian crises," Sofia Calltorp, U.N. Women's head of humanitarian action, said in a statement.
