Women’s Reproductive Health and Wellbeing – Safeguarding Maternal and Reproductive Health
In times of crisis, women are particularly vulnerable, especially when it comes to accessing essential health services. At Sharek Youth Forum, we recognize the heightened challenges faced by displaced women, particularly in maintaining their health and dignity. As part of our ongoing efforts to support these women, we have prioritized maternal and reproductive health during emergencies.
Through our initiatives, we have provided crucial resources to help women cope with the difficulties of displacement, ensuring their health and well-being are not overlooked. A total of 5820 kits were distributed
To address the immediate health and hygiene needs of displaced women, we distributed a total of 2,520 dignity kits. These kits were carefully designed to provide women and teenage girls with essential hygiene items, including sanitary pads, soap, and other basic necessities. By offering these kits, we promoted cleanliness, dignity, and comfort during an otherwise uncertain and challenging time.
2. Postpartum Kits for New Mothers
Recognizing the unique needs of new mothers, we distributed 600 specially designed postpartum kits to women who had recently given birth. These kits included items that were critical for both mothers and their newborns. The distribution of these kits reached 1,200 individuals, providing support to 600 women and 600 newborns. These kits played a vital role in helping new mothers recover and care for their newborns during the early days after childbirth.
3. Reproductive Health Awareness and Psychosocial Support
In addition to distributing essential hygiene items, we partnered with healthcare providers to deliver reproductive health awareness sessions. These sessions focused on educating mothers about their health, providing them with vital information on how to care for their bodies and families during times of crisis.
We also recognized the emotional strain faced by mothers and women in displacement. Therefore, we offered psychosocial support to help them manage stress and cope with the challenges of their situation. By empowering women with knowledge and providing them with resources, we aimed to strengthen their resilience and well-being.
