Venezuela: Women on the edge

The purpose of this webinar is to make visible the plight of Venezuelan women due to the lack of food, medicines, ARVs and SRH supplies. Shortages affect women and girls – for every 100 men living in extreme poverty in Venezuela, there are 112 women living in extreme conditions. Lack of menstrual hygiene products is also a major problem and health services have collapsed.
