Dear JWF Community, 

In light of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, we are featuring stories highlighting the burdens of the war on women and girls. Millions of women and children have fled for their lives. These brave women have become the face of the conflict, empowered to save themselves and their families. 

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the continued violence.

Sincerely,
Stephanie Victor, Advocacy Committee Chair
Amy Saltzman, Senior Program Officer
