Description:
This project addresses gaps in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and girls in Haiti. More particularly, this project strengthens and scales up previous work on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and gender equality in the eleven clinical sites of the Lower Artibonite and Central Plateau. Project activities include: (1) addressing the most urgent clinical needs of survivors of SGBV; (2) ensuring that those in positions of authority at the health, judicial and community levels are educated and engaged in the reduction, mitigation and prevention of SGBV through surveillance committees, created to support survivors and promoting survivors’ rights; and (3) engaging girls, women, boys and men in an educational and empowering approach towards gender issues that aims to increase the resiliency of women and girls, and change social norms around SGBV.
This project is expected to reach 1.1 million people, while also strengthening linkages with broader women’s health services, community health programs, and Haitian civil society organizations.
This project is implemented through a partnership between Partners in Health Canada, and its Haitian sister organization, Zanmi Lasante.
