As always, however, it has had a disproportionate impact on women and girls. The incidence of violence against women is rising rapidly, including: sexual violence; domestic violence; forced early marriages; denial of resources; and psychological and emotional abuse. Furthermore, the UN estimates that more than 1 million pregnant women or nursing mothers are acutely malnourished.<\/p><p>Our support to UNHCR provides cash assistance for vulnerable displaced women and female headed households to access protection services, including support for women and girls to prevent and respond to sexual violence, legal assistance and counselling. The UK\u2019s funding to UNICEF provides nutritional support to pregnant women and nursing mothers. The UK is also actively advocating for the inclusion of women in peace talks and encouraging political actors to take women\u2019s views into account.<\/p>"}
