Women's Health Goes Digital
The years of work of The World Youth Alliance Europe (WYAE), on issues such as Education, development social and human rights, have highlighted numerous current challenges faced by young women in the field of mental and reproductive health and the exercise of their rights. Despite being recognized as a priority and a right by UN and EU treaties and regulation, data statistics reveal that many young women are still unable to achieve a high standard in mental and reproductive health issues. This information has been gathered through surveys of more than 400 young women, as well as from exchange experiences with WYAE's NGO partners.
The problem is aggravated by the lack of reliable, accessible and scientific information on mental and reproductive health and rights in this field, as well as by the context generated by the COVID pandemic. This project, led by WYAE, seeks to reverse the status, which especially affects women with economic difficulties, migrants or residents in rural areas with more limited access to information. For this reason, an innovative approach capable of providing this service and offering accessible training programs is needed.
Through Women's Health Goes Digital, which will run for 28 months, the aim is to train partner organizations and their staff to deliver innovative training programs on mental and reproductive health and women's reproductive rights, as well as to educate and inform young women in this field.
Objectives
1
train to the 11 organizations involved, as well as providing skills and competencies to 50 young workers from WYAE's workforce.
2
Develop an innovative methodology and program at training to educate and train young women on mental and reproductive health and reproductive rights.
3
Promote an innovative digital platform that offers this information and Education to young women.
4
Inform and educate 480 young women in this field, some of them with fewer opportunities or resources.
5
Design recommendations and work to increase awareness of women's mental and reproductive health and rights.
The work, which will directly involve 700 participantsfollows in the wake of the European project H2020 B2-Inf: Be better informed about fertility (Be better informed about fertility), led by the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS). In this research, the methodology that will guide the training programs will be designed and the contents of the digital platform will be selected.
