The statistics that come out from women and girls caught up in conflict are astounding. Displacement, abuse, abandonment. The threat of sexual violence, torture, and risk to livelihoods rises astronomically. Education, healthcare, and the propensity to care diminishes extraordinarily. Sixty per cent of maternal deaths take place in crisis. It’s insane.

Even with respect to peacekeeping, when women are included in peace agreements, the likelihood that they will last at least 15 years increases by 35 per cent.

And so with this awareness film, made for the launch of Qatar Fund for Development’s 'Women in Conflict Zones' initiative at the UN General Assembly (UNGA-77), we depict six different conflict zones and six different women who form a unified voice in telling us what it's like to exist in horrific situations. Mothers, daughters, girls. In a series of dramatised perspectives, from Afghanistan to Syria, refugees to Rohingya. Their voices form a monologue, and with that they call on you to act, understand and hear them - women in conflict zones.

Qatar Fund for Development’s 'Women in Conflict' initiative allows for various projects and interventions that support women in conflict and fragile settings in the form of humanitarian aid and developmental assistance. Women suffer immensely in conflict, but when they are empowered, they can exist. With support, even despite conflict, women can look after themselves, their loved ones and their communities.
