This project aims to increase sexual and reproductive autonomy among women and girls in Bolivia, Indonesia and Nigeria by empowering them to decide on their sexual and reproductive health and increasing access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) services. Project activities include: (1) providing comprehensive sexuality education to youth, including accurate reproductive health information; (2) training health care workers to deliver gender- and trauma-informed compassionate care to all women and girls, especially survivors of violence; (3) fostering community-led action against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), which includes training community and humanitarian aid workers on SGBV, power inequities and trauma-informed care; (4) implementing a sexual and reproductive health and abortion self-care model with community leaders in new intervention sites; and (5) reaching women and youth via digital tools with information on SRHR and sexual violence prevention. Over 60,000 women and girls will be directly reached through engagement, knowledge building and expanded sexual and reproductive health services, including safe abortion and post-abortion care. Also, the project expects to reach 500,000 women and girls through digital platforms and communications campaigns.
