Sofia Sprechmann, program director for CARE International, visits Northeast Nigeria, where conflict, displacement and near-famine conditions have created the largest humanitarian crisis in Africa, with 13.8 million people in need of immediate assistance. Boko Haram militants continue to target civilians with suicide bombings, kidnappings, and sexual violence. Women and girls are bearing the brunt of the crisis. But maternal health services are few, as are support systems for rape survivors. CARE is assuring women in some of the hardest-to-reach communities have access maternal health services, including family planning. And CARE is providing support to women who have been raped or suffered other forms of gender-based violence. Sprechmann reports from Borno State, the epicenter of the crisis and home to most of the nearly 2 million people displaced. The violence and hunger have spilled over into parts of neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, making this a regional crisis affecting 17 million people across the Lake Chad Basin.

After World War II, the original CARE Package harnessed the power of generosity in a box. It changed the world by delivering food that relieved suffering across a devastated Europe. Seventy years later, the CARE Package has evolved and today powers change in new, lasting ways for the people who need it most. Here’s the extraordinary story of an ordinary box narrated by award-winning actor Matt Dillon.

NOTE: This video contains explicit language and images. 1-in-3 women worldwide will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, usually from a male partner. The CARE Norway team created this video to remind us that gender-based violence is not just something that happens "over there." It's a truly global problem that must be addressed everywhere. Visit www.care.org to find out how CARE is working to end violence against girls and women.
