Description (French)
Le mars 2022 - Plus de 5,3 millions de personnes ont fui le Venezuela depuis 2015. Plusieurs de ces résidents sont en Colombie, cependant d'autres sont en transit en Colombie vers des pays comme l’Équateur et le Pérou. La crise des réfugiés et des migrants continue de provoquer des besoins humanitaires importants en Colombie, tout en subissant aussi les effets de la violence et des conflits armés qui sévissent depuis longtemps. Les populations qui ont des besoins humanitaires aigus, y compris les réfugiés et les migrants ont aussi été affectés de façon importante par la pandémie de coronavirus. Avec l’appui d’AMC, Médecins du Monde contribue à améliorer l’état de santé de plus de 45 000 personnes des populations migrantes vénézuéliennes, en particulier les femmes, les adolescentes et les communautés d’accueil vulnérables de Bogotá, Cali, Ipiales et Soacha. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) fournir des services médicaux et psychologiques de base aux survivantes pour les populations migrantes vulnérables; 2) fournir les formations de sensibilisation sur l’accès aux systèmes de santé, aux droits sexuels et reproductifs et sur la prévention de la violence sexuelle et sexiste pour les populations migrantes et les communautés d’accueil.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: 1) improving access to medical services for vulnerable migrant populations to meet their basic needs; 2) improving the access of vulnerable Venezuelan migrants to basic human rights in the area of protection. The ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity preserved in countries facing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent: 1) amélioration de l’accès des services médicaux pour les populations migrantes vulnérables afin de répondre à leurs besoins humains fondamentaux; 2) amélioration de l’accès des personnes migrantes vénézuéliennes vulnérables aux droits humains fondamentaux en matière de protection. 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.
