Findings from the Gender-Based Violence Information Management System (GBVIMS) indicate that while overall reported incidents declined significantly in March 2026 compared to February, the nature and severity of risks reported by survivors remain deeply concerning.
The humanitarian situation in Lebanon remained fragile and volatile, with developments during the reporting period further undermining prospects for civilian protection, safe and sustained returns, and unimpeded humanitarian access.
Across Lebanon, women and girls navigate continued displacement, loss, and returns home – often multiple times – as uncertainty remains part of daily life.
At least 2,196 people have been killed, including 172 children, and 7,185 wounded, including 661 children, following weeks of deadly airstrikes and military operations in Lebanon.
8 April marked the deadliest day of the conflict, with at least 303 people killed, including 33 children, and over 1,150 injured, including 153 children. The escalation has sharply increased protection risks for children, highlighting the acute threat to their safety, wellbeing, and access to essential services.
The February 2026 airstrikes on Iran triggered a rapid escalation of risks across the region, intensifying gender-based violence (GBV) exposure in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, while further degrading already fragile protection systems and service delivery structures.
During his recent visit to Lebanon on 31 March, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, Tom Fletcher, engaged Government officials, first responders and affected families impacted by the escalation.
Since 2 March, an estimated 620,000 women and girls have been forced to flee their homes.This represents nearly one quarter of all women and girls in Lebanon, and more than half of those displaced – including Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, and migrant communities.
2025 marked one of the most devastating chapters in Sudan’s recent history. Across the country, communities endured overlapping humanitarian crises that affected the lives of millions across Sudan.
The situation in Aleppo, Al-Hasakeh and Ar-Raqqa governorates has largely stabilized in recent days, following the agreement announced on 30 January 2026. Active hostilities have subsided, bringing a greater sense of calm, even as localized incidents, precautionary security measures, and community concerns persist in many areas.
South Sudan continues to face severe humanitarian emergencies driven by climate shocks, relentless violence, multiple disease outbreaks and a struggling economy.
إنَّ المنظّمات المُوقِّعة أدناه تُتابِعُ بقلقٍ بالغ التدهورَ السريع والخطير في مشهد الحرّيات العامّة في تونس. فقد شهدت تونس اعتبارًا من عام ٢٠٢١ - وبحِدّةٍ متزايدة منذ عام ٢٠٢٣ - حملات مُمَنْهَجَة تستهدف الأصوات المستقلّة، وتُقوِّض دور المجتمع المدني، وتُجرِّم جميع أشكال المُعارضة المدنية والسياسية.
The undersigned organisations are following with deep concern the rapid and alarming deterioration of the public freedoms landscape in Tunisia. Since 2021—and with increasing intensity since 2023—the country has witnessed systematic campaigns targeting independent voices, undermining the role of civil society, and criminalising all forms of civic and political opposition.
Children in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to face significant vulnerabilities after 14 years of conflict. Despite renewed engagement following the change in authorities in late 2024, humanitarian needs are rising due to large-scale returns, economic decline, climate shocks and damaged infrastructure.
The situation in Sudan remains extremely volatile, marked by escalating violence, mass displacement, and the near-collapse of essential services. Communities fleeing El Fasher and surrounding villages are arriving in remote areas with almost no access to maternal health care, protection services, or functioning health facilities.
The humanitarian situation in southern Syria remains unpredictable, with insecurity, displacement, and service disruptions continuing to affect communities across As-Sweida, Dar’a, and Quneitra governorates during the reporting period.
This study examines gendered experiences of arbitrary detention in Al-Hol and interrogates core assumptions of women’s alleged links or family ties to ISIL/Da’esh.
