More than 70,000 people from the northeast remain displaced in Al-Hasakah, Ar-Raqqa and Aleppo governorates due to ongoing conflict in the area. Over 17,500 of the IDPs are women of reproductive age.

In addition to continued drops in temperature, women face hazardous living conditions and increased risks.

And without adequate health care and other services, internally-displaced women and girls are more likely to suffer gender-based violence.
