Description


The purpose of this project is to improve the health status of Venezuelan migrant populations, especially

women, in the municipalities of Tumaco, Ipiales and Pasto, in the department of Nariño, Colombia. To accomplish

this, DOTW will take action in two ways: 1) Increase equitable immediate access to gender-responsive services in

sexual and reproductive health and primary health care for Venezuelan migrant populations;

and 2) strengthen protection of the right to health, especially sexual and reproductive health rights,

mental health and psychosocial support, in both areas, especially for

women and adolescent girls, in the project’s target areas.
