This project aims to ensure that vulnerable women and girls in Mozambique can make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) free from discrimination, coercion and violence. It also aims to ensure that these women and girls have access to the full range of SRH services, especially safe and legal abortion. Project activities include: (1) establishing two training centres in existing hospitals and training 475 health workers. This includes training 325 health providers on comprehensive abortion care and integrating gender-based violence services; and training 25 pharmacists on medical abortion. It also includes training 125 professionals at integrated care centres, where women and girls can seek legal redress and psychosocial support after experiencing violence; (2) conducting community education, outreach and mass media campaigns that will reach up to 7 million people, with information on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence; and (3) conducting advocacy campaigns to shift harmful norms and stigma related to SRHR through about 9,000 community outreach activities.
