Programme Summary


This project approached women's reproductive health from a holistic approach in an effort to improve women's social and economic status within the broader intent of improving the sexual health of communities. The work in this project was based on the philosophy that women's health is not merely a medical issue, but is also affected and often determined by the wider context of home, relationships, politics, economics and culture.

Communication Strategies



Promotion of Reproductive health services were at the core of the project, but Casa de la Mujer also attempted to respond with legal services in regards to domestic violence and child support, providing psychological care (including basic literary training and education), potable water, nutrition, a healthy environment and other training.

Development Issues



Health, women's issues, gender, economic development, reproductive health, holistic health, violence, children

Key Points



While this programme initially was established to be involved with women's activities for women, the programmes now seek to involve husbands and partners of their clients whenever it is possible, directing special attention at the youth of both sexes.

Partners



UNAIDS, UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, UNESCO, WHO, World Bank, European Union
