Health Advocacy
We are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women and girls in conflict countries through education, awareness, and support. We provide resources on essential topics such as hygiene, reproductive health, mental health, and wellness, ensuring women have access to the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and lives. Our programs include workshops, informational pamphlets, and personalized guidance, empowering women to take control of their health and advocate for their rights. Through these efforts, we strive to address health disparities and create healthier, more informed communities.
Why you should care:
-
In conflict-affected areas, maternal mortality rates can be up to 2.5 times higher than in non-conflict regions. Limited access to prenatal and postnatal care leaves women vulnerable to life-threatening complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
-
In refugee camps and conflict zones, up to 70% of women report having experienced some form of gender-based violence. Health advocacy provides necessary support for survivors, including access to psychological care and sexual health services.
-
Around 20% of girls in conflict zones miss school due to lack of access to menstrual hygiene products and sanitation facilities. Health advocacy can ensure these basic needs are met, preventing further barriers to education and well-being.
