En 2013, 289 000 femmes sont décédées pendant ou après une grossesse ou un accouchement, et 2,8 millions de nouveau-nés sont morts avant l’âge de 28 jours. La majorité de ces décès ont eu lieu dans des environnements limités en ressources et la plupart auraient pu être évités.L’acco...uchement est un processus complexe et il est essentiel de penser à fournir tout ce
qui est nécessaire pour garantir que la mère et le nouveau-né reçoivent les soins les plus sûrs possible. Les listes de contrôle sont des outils utiles pour organiser des processus aussi complexes et importants ; on les utilise depuis longtemps pour inciter les utilisateurs à se rappeler les tâches essentielles pour dispenser des soins plus sûrs et de meilleure qualité
dans divers contextes.
La liste OMS de contrôle pour la sécurité de l’accouchement a été élaborée comme un outil visant à améliorer la qualité des soins prodigués aux femmes qui mettent un enfant au monde

One of the principles underpinning the delivery of all essential services and coordination of those services is the “survivor-centered approach”, which places the human rights, needs, and wishes of women and girl survivors at the centre of service delivery.
A key challenge faced by many entit...ies working to end violence against women is ensuring that survivors’ voices and inputs are incorporated into policies, practices, and procedures on response. Survivors have diverse needs and face different risks. Not all women and girls experience violence in the same way. An effective intervention takes into account the realities of their unique circumstances, addresses individual needs, and reduces the risk for further harm and suffering.
UN Women, together with Global Rights for Women, have developed “Safe consultations with survivors of violence against women and girls”, which is designed to provide practical steps, safety measures, and actions that government agencies, civil society and survivor organizations, and United Nations’ entities can take to incorporate survivors' voices into systemic reform efforts, through safe and meaningful consultations.
This guidance is intended to help policymakers develop survivor-centered programming on ending violence against women and girls that meets the needs of diverse groups of women and girls, including those who are at higher risk of experiencing violence and discrimination. It is applicable to programming across the health, justice and policing, and social services sectors, as well as coordination of these sectors, and will help improve the standard and delivery of essential services for women and girls who have experienced violence.

Globally, it is estimated that 128.6 million people are currently in need of humanitarian assistance. Of these individuals, approximately one-fourth are women and girls of reproductive age. Although family planning is one of the most life-saving, empowering, and cost-effective interventions for wome...n and girls, it remains an overwhelming gap in emergency responses due to a lack of prioritisation and funding. Consequently, many women and girls are forced to contend with an unmet need for family planning and unplanned pregnancies in addition to the traumas of conflict, disaster, and displacement.

According to official figures from Migración Colombia by the end of June 2019, there were more than 1.4 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants living in Colombia. The majority of people have settled in the border departments of La Guajira and Norte de Santander, continuing to cities along the Car...ibbean coast, or larger cities inland such as Medellin and Bogotá. Significant numbers of Venezuelans continue to cross Colombia by foot, heading for larger cities with more opportunities and better services or towards the southern border with Ecuador to continue their onward journey to a third country. Refugees and migrants arrive in Colombia with immediate humanitarian needs including access to safe accommodation, food, basic health care, but the prolonged nature of their displacement also requires longer term solutions including access to formal employment, education and social integration. The Interagency Group for Mixed Migration Flows (GIFMM) works closely with the Government at both the national level, and across 11 of the most affected departments, to deliver direct emergency assistance, protection, socio-economic integration activities and seeks to build the capacity of the host government.

The aim of this toolkit is to guide countries on how to best estimate their current burden of dengue by combining existing data from dengue surveillance systems with on-going research efforts to measure the community burden
of dengue.
Ces deux dernières années, les infirmières et les autres professionnels de santé ont été fortement exposés à la COVID-19,
le manque de protection, de vaccination en temps opportun et de soutien requis pour travailler dans un cadre sûr et sain étant des facteurs aggravants. En outre, les i...nfirmières et les médecins sont 16 fois plus susceptibles de subir des violences sur leur lieu de travail que les autres acteurs du secteur des services. Les conditions de travail des infirmières et des autres professionnels
de santé se répercutent non seulement sur leurs propres droits, mais également sur ceux des personnes devant avoir accès à des
soins de santé de qualité et abordables.
