ARC - Ethiopia - Assosa Refugee Camps - Health and Gender Rights for Women and Girls: An Integrated Innovation to Address Reproductive and Mental Health Needs of Refugee Women

Forced migration due to global conflict, renders women & children especially vulnerable to sexual & gender based violence (SGBV) that requires immediate & long term psychological & gynecological health services: contraception, sexual health & reproductive rights; prevention & treatment of mood, anxiety, trauma disorders & feelings of helplessness & desperation. Healing & prevention are dependent on empowering women to cope with current circumstances & defend their sexual/psychological rights.
