Donate to help women and girls of Türkiye and Syria
On 6 February, two massive earthquakes devastated southeastern Turkey and northwestern Syria, leaving tens of thousands dead and many more injured. As the death toll continues to rise, survivors are facing freezing temperatures without shelter, clothes or food. UN Women is on the ground, responding to immediate humanitarian needs and developing longer-term recovery strategies that ensure women’s agency and leadership. Support women, girls and families in Türkiye and Syria today.
We focus on issues that unlock progress on gender equality.
