UN Women Asia and Pacific released a report on 8 November stating, “Almost two months after Myanmar was impacted by severe flooding, more than 1 million people have been affected, including approximately 600,000 women and girls who face unique and heightened challenges, from health risks to protection needs.”

Floods have destroyed farmland, livestock, and agricultural equipment – decimating sources of income for women in agriculture and small-scale businesses, the report says.
