Description


This project aims to improve comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for women and adolescent girls in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Nigeria and Zambia. The project also seeks to strengthen social and political support for, and improve access to, high quality, safe and legal abortion and contraceptive services for women and adolescent girls. Project activities include: (1) providing training and support for journalists to promote balanced media coverage and reporting on SRHR; (2) providing training for law enforcement agents to increase their understanding and promote attitude transformation regarding SRHR, unsafe abortion and abortion laws; (3) partnering with civil society to conduct community-based trainings on SRHR with key groups including faith leaders, women’s groups, and youth groups; and (4) providing support and supplies to health facilities to increase the availability of comprehensive safe and legal abortion and contraceptive services.
