After outlining the post-hurricane context of Matthew in Haiti, this new humanitarian report summarizes UNFPA's interventions in the affected departments, particularly for women, girls and adolescents. Concerning sexual and reproductive health, the interventions were possible through the presence of emergency reproductive health kits and additional medical equipment that were purchased and delivered to the health facilities in the affected departments, in order to meet the significant demand experienced by mobile clinics. In addition, midwives were rapidly deployed to pregnant women and newborns in Grand'Anse and Nippes to help save lives. In the area of violence against women and girls, UNFPA has invested to strengthen the operational capacities of the actors on the field and the availability of medical, psycho-social and legal services.

This document draws attention to the lack of funding for Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and protection, as part of the post-Hurricane Matthew response to Haiti. "Without urgent action, maternal and neonatal deaths and sexual violence will increase," says the Interagency Working Group on Reproductive Health in Crisis Situations. The IAWG calls on the donor and aid community to work closely with local partners to implement the Minimum Emergency Response System (MISP) for Reproductive Health.
