The entire population of Barbuda was evacuated to Antigua in the aftermath of the hurricane. Women and girls have been left disproportionately vulnerable. © UNFPA/Katheline Ruiz

Even so, women evacuees are taking charge, managing a number of shelters and connecting their fellow residents to key services. © UNFPA/Katheline Ruiz

Ms. Walker and Alethea Byers told UNFPA that many women still have ongoing needs, including a need for counselling and health care. © UNFPA/Katheline Ruiz

UNFPA is working with partners, including UN Women and the government, to provide these essential services. Samantha Burnette says she will continue working for her residents "until the very end." © UNFPA/Katheline Ruiz
