Expanding Access to Health and Rights for Women and Girls in Haiti is a 40-month project (December 2019-April 2023) being implemented by Partners In Health Canada and its Haitian sister organization Zanmi Lasante with generous support from Global Affairs Canada.
The intervention aims to address gaps in the sexual and reproductive health and rights landscape for women and girls in Haiti, specifically related to the prevention of and response to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
Project activities will enable improved access to emergency medical care for survivors of SGBV; the establishment of surveillance commissions for strengthened coordination between the different institutional actors involved in the response to SGBV, including medical, criminal justice and religious institutions; and increased community engagement and education on issues related to the eradication of violence and gender equality.
The intervention will serve a catchment area of 1.1 million people and provide 4,200 women, men, boys and girls with SGBV prevention, treatment, care and response services.
