The war in Ukraine is becoming a crisis of reproductive health. Over the next three months, more than 80,000 Ukrainian people are expected to give birth. That’s about 1,000 deliveries per week. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15% of pregnancies—in a war zone or not—will require skilled medical care for a potentially life-threatening complication.
Experts are raising concerns about both the short- and long-term tolls of neglecting sexual and reproductive care in Ukraine, including surrogacy and abortion services, disease prevention, and help for survivors of sexual assault. “More than 50 percent of the population are women. And these are non-negotiable needs,” Hickson adds.

The calculations seems wrong – if 80,000 over next three months then it means about 1,000 per day not week.
An abortion is not a non-negotiable need..
Periods? As female menstrual cycle? Are you serious?! Wtf
Good you can now realize what women in middle east have to go through.
Stop the war in Ukraine, because of periods. That’s why US troops left Afghanistan
Exactly. Women have their own sex-based needs. Please protect them.
😢😢😢😢😢 so sorry for the Ukraine’s war
The situation in Ukraine is heart-wrenching to say the least. Any normal human being (especially those having experienced war first-hand) shall and will identify with the pain and suffering experienced in Ukraine on a daily basis. My heart goes to every Ukrainian person in and out of the country. 💔 But do these statistics also hold true for women giving birth in wars instigated or supported by the west: Iran. Iraq. Afghanistan. Syria. Yemen………..and of course Palestine? Those women are also human: Beautiful. Strong. Willful. fragile. Human. Shame on one-sided reporting wired. You are supposed to be a “scientific” source. 🙄
No WW3
Extreme stress does cause periods to stop temporarily.
🙄
Babies and periods are inconsiderate.
“killing babies doesn’t stop because adults are killing each other.”
If women had power, there would be no war!
