Summary
March 2020 – Following the outbreak of violence in Northern Rakhine State in August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya people crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh over a period of several months. Currently, there are approximately 855,000 Rohingya refugees living in 34 highly congested settlements in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

Project activities include: (1) delivering emergency obstetric, antenatal, delivery and postpartum services; (2) providing comprehensive abortion, family planning and sexually transmitted infection care; (3) offering quality support for survivors of gender-based violence; and (4) developing effective referral pathways for clinical and mental health care, psychosocial support and other health services.

Description (French)
Mars 2020 – À la suite de l’explosion de violence dans le nord de l’État de Rakhine en août 2017, plus de 700 000 Rohingyas sont passés du Myanmar au Bangladesh en quelques mois. Actuellement, il y a environ 855 000 réfugiés rohingyas vivant dans 34 colonies très entassées à Cox’s Bazar, au Bangladesh. La rapidité et l’ampleur de l’afflux ont entraîné d’importants besoins humanitaires. Grâce au soutien d’AMC, l’International Rescue Committee (IRC) améliore la santé et la sécurité des femmes et des filles rohingyas en fournissant des services intégrés de santé sexuelle et reproductive et de prévention et de réponse à la violence fondée sur le genre. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) fournir des soins obstétricaux, des services prénataux, d’accouchement et postnataux d’urgence; 2) fournir des soins complets en matière d’avortement, de planification familiale et d’infections sexuellement transmissibles; 3) offrir un soutien de qualité aux survivants de la violence basée sur le sexe; 4) développer des voies d’orientation efficaces pour les soins cliniques et de santé mentale, le soutien psychosocial et d’autres services de santé.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) effective treatment for complications of pregnancy and childbirth for women and adolescent girls; and (2) protection from and treatment of consequences of gender-based violence for women and girls. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in communities experiencing humanitarian crises or that are food insecure.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) le traitement efficace des complications liées à la grossesse et à l’accouchement pour les femmes et les adolescentes; 2) la protection contre les conséquences de la violence fondée sur le sexe et le traitement de ces conséquences pour les femmes et les filles. Le résultat ultime escompté est : des vies sauvées, la souffrance atténuée et la dignité humaine préservée dans les pays qui font face à une crise humanitaire ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
