The project aims to empower women and engage men by increasing the awareness of, access to and quality of, family planning services in Egypt. Egypt’s population has dramatically increased in the last decade, reaching almost 100 million people in 2018. Access to quality family planning services is critical for women and adolescent girls to lead healthy lives, and is part of an important strategy to address high population growth rates. The project also aims to address the barriers women, adolescent girls and girls face in accessing quality health services including social norms, behaviours and attitudes.

Project activities include: (1) procuring contraceptives and developing a distribution plan in targeted areas; (2) designing and rolling out of a comprehensive curriculum for population and family planning education; and (3) organizing advocacy events to solidify the national commitment for family planning.

The project is part of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) national program, which aims to reach 5,500 family planning clinics, 14,000 Ministry of Health and Population outreach workers, 2,500 women’s health clubs and 60 million people through a comprehensive media campaign on population and family planning.

P002804001: This project seeks to improve gender equality in the provinces of Nampula and Zambézia by promoting and helping to realize adolescent girls’ and young women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Mozambique. The project works at accomplishing this by empowering the poorest and most vulnerable adolescent girls’ and young women with knowledge, skills and access to SRHR services. The project also aims to increase their communities' commitment and support to protect girls’ and women’s rights by engaging boys, men, families and communities to change discriminatory socio-cultural norms and behaviours.

Project activities include: (1) promoting life skills and SRHR through the use of safe spaces, peer mentoring and girls' clubs; (2) training local sexual and reproductive health service providers to meet girls' and young women's needs; (3) educating family members, community religious leaders, and boys and men on the importance of girls' education and their SRHR; (4) improving SRHR policies and programming capacity through improved data, monitoring and evaluation and coordination; and (5) amplifying confidential access to SRHR information for girls and young women through innovative use of communications technologies, such as online interactive counselling and text messaging.

The project contributes to improving gender equality and the realization of SRHR for about 1.2 million girls and young women in the provinces of Nampula and Zambézia.

This project supports the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in its work to prevent and reduce sexual violence in armed conflicts. Women and girls face increased vulnerability in situations of conflict and displacement, as rape and other forms of sexual violence may be used systematically as an act of reprisal and to create fear. The consequences are far reaching, affecting survivors not only physically but psychologically and socially.

For this reason, ICRC has a special initiative to strengthen its response to sexual violence, with the intention of improving delivery of services, prevention of sexual violence, and improving the capacity of its staff to respond. The ICRC also works with States, weapons bearers, religious and traditional leaders, and communities to promote awareness of sexual violence, including awareness of International Humanitarian Law obligations prohibiting sexual violence in armed conflict. The ICRC has a unique role working in conflict zones, with access to areas inaccessible by many other organizations and with greater credibility in advocating for the protection of civilians, including vulnerable women and girls.

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation (CXI) grant agreement is to support organizations and to build on targeted relationships between Canadian companies/researchers and key organizations in other countries to allow them to proceed with formal discussions to initiate collaboration(s) on future international R&D initiatives that could lead to commercialization of Canadian technologies.

This project will support employers and individuals to address and prevent workplace sexual harassment, specifically amongst vulnerable populations including LGBTQ2S+ groups. The project will hold consultations and complete initial research to support the development of tools and strategies to address workplace sexual harassment, including public education programs, workplace training resources, virtual courses, and community activities. Resources developed will be shared with various stakeholders across the province, including employers, employees, unions, community organizations and business organizations.

Prince Edward Island Human Rights Commission will increase public awareness and knowledge on sexual harassment in the workplace through the implementation of a public awareness campaign and education for employers and youth. A media/social media campaign directed to employers and employees will be launched across the province. Training will be developed and delivered to employers and will be designed to address prevention, identifying and investigating sexual harassment. Employers will be informed of their obligations and responsibilities and will be encouraged to assume a leadership role in creating and maintaining safe and inclusive workplaces. Additionally, the organization will work with secondary schools to develop resources and education opportunities within schools to prepare them for entering the workforce.
