Purpose
April 2021 - The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a defining global health crisis of modern times, with over 2,000,000 recorded deaths worldwide. In countries that are already experiencing humanitarian crises and have highly vulnerable populations, COVID-19 has placed even more pressure on essential services, infrastructure, and systems and resulted in adverse effects on the provision of and use of health and protection services by women and girls. With GAC’s support, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is providing protection and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) support to refugees and vulnerable people in Yemen. Project activities include: (1) providing COVID-19 safe SRHR services; (2) providing COVID-19 safe sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) case management and services; (3) providing cash grants for especially vulnerable persons; (4) training care providers on women’s empowerment topics; (4) empowering women and girls to contribute to COVID-19 impacted SGBV and SRHR services; (5) increasing the number of women-led organisations implementing SRHR and women’s empowerment programming; and (6) improving overall coherence and visibility of comprehensive results achieved through the global program.
