Campaigning for Women’s Health
Capacity and resources of the regions and receive the type of training they need in view of potential employment opportunities
NUEW has worked closely with the Ministry of Health and other partners to raise awareness of women’s health issues and prevent and treat health challenges confronting women that are caused by poverty and backward traditions. NUEW has conducted multiple seminars and meetings attended by more than 1.7 million people – encompassing 93 % women – towards this end. To broaden the scope of campaigns in all regions, peer education trainings have also been provided and are currently playing a significant role in raising health awareness.
NUEW campaign against female genital mutilation (FGM) was initiated to sensitize society on the adverse effects of FGM on women and initiate behavior change.
Specific efforts include raising awareness about women’s and children’s rights and reproductive health, as well as sensitizing traditional circumcisers on the dangerous consequences of FGM.
Vigorous efforts have been made to extend FGM campaigns across the entire country. More than 1.2 million participants, 73% of them female, have attended meetings on FGM and early marriage.
