World Humanitarian Day 2022

Whenever and wherever people are in crisis, there are others who help them. From the affected people themselves – always first to respond when disaster strikes – to the global community that supports them as they recover, they come together to ease suffering and bring hope.

This World Humanitarian Day, on August 19, we shine a light on the hundreds of thousands of women who deliver urgent health care, shelter, food, protection, water and much more. We intent to learn about their life-saving work and share.

We wish to highlight the contribution of women who lead during a crisis. Women we know who kept the needs of others above their own, especially in a world learning to live with COVID – 19.
