This report delves into the critical yet under-recognized role of young women, girls, and young feminists in responding to global crises. Highlighting systemic challenges and discrepancies in international aid, it reveals stark contrasts: while administrative costs soar, funding for women’s rights organizations remains minimal.

Urgent reforms are proposed to empower marginalized groups and foster gender-responsive humanitarian interventions.
