Hello, I’m Jessica bringing you Geneva Solutions’ Peace and Humanitarian news coverage, produced in collaboration with The New Humanitarian.
Today, the UN in Geneva presents its annual report on global humanitarian trends, and we’re breaking down some of the key take-aways. We’re also talking to long-time member of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Future Council, Sara Pantuliano, about its new agenda for building resilience. And we’re hopeful after new funding was committed to tackling the rise of violence against women. |

Funds for women-led initiatives to combat gender-based violence.
Sarah Nyajuok Guk is a South Sudanese refugee living at Kakuma camp in Kenya, who works as a gender-based violence counselor. The UN’s annual awareness campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, launched last week, was met with $25m of support, 30 per cent of which will go to women-run organisations working to protect the lives of women and girls during the Covid-19 pandemic.
