Purpose
Conflict-related Sexual and Gender Based Violence (GBV) linked to the conflict in Tigray has increased needs for support to survivors across Tigray, as well as the adjacent regions of Amhara and Afar. Gaps in services include women and girl’s safe spaces (WGSS) for increasing numbers of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Shire and Mekelle, and mobile medical teams offering reproductive health care, community outreach, and initial clinical response and referral for survivors of GBV. This UNFPA project proposes to addresses gaps in response, assist in rebuilding government and local capacity for survivors of sexual violence, and increase GBV awareness and risk mitigation through protection measures. Essential Sexual Health and Reproductive services would reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, and serve as an entry point for GBV education and services. The project would target locations in Tigray including Mekelle, Agidrat, Adwa, Axum, Shire, Maychew, Humera, Alemata, and areas in Afar and Amhara hosting IDPs as a result of the Tigray conflict.
