Description (French)
Ce projet vise à s’attaquer aux principales causes de l’inégalité de genre en améliorant l’accès à la santé et aux droits sexuels et reproductifs sensibles au genre et à la culture des adolescentes et des femmes autochtones au Guatemala. Le projet cherche à utiliser un écosystème de santé numérique qui, au moyen de téléphones intelligents, surmonte les obstacles liés à la distance, au temps et à d’autres facteurs. Il vise à atteindre cet objectif en créant un réseau de personnel et d’établissements de santé capables de fournir des soins de santé qui respectent les pratiques biomédicales et autochtones. Le projet vise également à transformer et à améliorer les ressources en matière de droits à la santé sexuelle et reproductive afin de répondre aux demandes des femmes et des adolescentes.
Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) mettre en place des programmes de formation à la santé pour les travailleuses et travailleurs de la santé communautaire, le personnel de la santé et les sages-femmes sur les services de santé sexuelle et reproductive sensibles au genre et à la culture; 2) améliorer la prestation des services de santé dans les communautés rurales avec les parties prenantes autochtones et de la santé communautaire, au moyen de l’écosystème de santé numérique de l’organisation; 3) créer des espaces numériques adaptés aux adolescentes pour un accès sûr aux services de santé sexuelle et reproductive à l’information et à l’orientation; 4) améliorer la collecte et la diffusion des données au niveau communautaire et élaborer des plans d’action de santé communautaire en collaboration à l’aide de l’écosystème de santé numérique; 5) établir un partenariat avec le ministère de la santé pour que le gouvernement s’approprie le projet et en assure la viabilité.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) reduced adolescent pregnancies and maternal mortality by contributing to improved equitable sexual and reproductive health and rights for vulnerable and marginalized Indigenous women and adolescent girls; and (2) enhanced Indigenous women and girls' access to sexual health and reproductive resources and benefits and strengthened evidence-based decision-making for promoting and advocating for their health rights.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) une réduction des grossesses chez les adolescentes et de la mortalité maternelle en contribuant à l’amélioration de la santé et des droits sexuels et reproductifs équitables pour les femmes et les adolescentes autochtones vulnérables et marginalisées; 2) un meilleur accès des femmes et des filles autochtones aux ressources et aux avantages en matière de santé sexuelle et reproductive, et un renforcement de la prise de décision fondée sur des données probantes, pour la promotion et la défense de leurs droits en santé.
