Women and girls have specific needs that are often ignored during crisis. While on the run or while living in shelters, women and girls continue to become pregnant, but they often lack access to basic sexual and reproduc-tive health care. Without assistance by midwifes or access to contraceptives, w...omen and girls are at increased risk of unsafe sex, unwanted pregnancy and unsafe delivery, and are at a higher risk of infection by HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. In addition, displaced women have virtually no access to protection, security, justice, and other services related to gender-based violence (GBV). For these reasons, the delivery of sexual and reproduc-tive health and rights (SRHR) as well as GBV services to conflict-affected communities – most of whom are living in protracted displacement – is a key part of UNFPA’s Women and Girls First Programme (WGF). The initia-tive is a commitment to prevent and respond to violence perpetrated against women and girls in Myanmar, and to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

An Addendum to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Policy Guidelines and Service Standards
Neurodiversity is associated with people who experience dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia, ADHD, and other similar neurological conditions. They’re known as “spectrum” conditions that cover a wide range of characteristics but share similarities in how people with these conditions learn and process... different kinds of information.
Many organizations fail to support neurodiverse employees. This is party because working with neurodiverse employees can be perceived as challenging.
In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of a neurodiverse workplace. We’ll look at some of the competitive advantages of neurodiversity and the legislation surrounding it. Finally, we’ll end with advice on making neurodiversity a workplace strength by supporting neurodiverse employees.

Young women in Burkina Faso and Mali are increasingly using modern contraceptives for family planning; however, the LAPM contraceptive prevalence rate remains low. Our analysis indicates that social norms around idea...l family size for both men and women continue to drive young women’s choices around family planning and impede use of LAPMs. To increase modern contraceptive use and curb fertility rates, local governments and development organizations should focus on women’s empowerment and include male partners.

Le Gouvernement du Burkina Faso a pris en compte au niveau du deuxième axe stratégique du Plan National de Développement Economique et Social (PNDES) 2016 – 2020 la nécessité de développer des actions allant dans le sens de la mitigation de l’impact du VIH sur les... populations. Deux CSLS successifs couvrant les périodes 2001-2005 et 2006 – 2010 ont été mis en œuvre contribuant de manière significative à baisser et à stabiliser la progression de la pandémie, en ramenant le taux de séroprévalence de 7,17% en 1997 à 0.90% en fin 2014 selon les estimations de l’ONUSIDA. Malgré cette évolution positive, le Burkina Faso demeure en situation d’épidémie généralisée. Ce même rapport mentionne que le nombre de PVVIH est estimé à 110.000, dont 57.000 femmes. 75.000 enfants sont estimés orphelins du fait du Sida. L’EDS IV réalisée en 2010 note que la prévalence en population générale présente des disparités selon le sexe. En effet, les femmes ont une prévalence de 1.2% contre 0.8% chez les hommes d’où un ratio H/F de 1.5 confirmant ainsi la théorie de la féminisation de l’infection pour des raisons à la fois socio-économiques et biologiques. Une étude récente conduite par le SP/CNLS ciblant les travailleuses du sexe (TS) a montré une prévalence au VIH de 16,19%, c’est à dire plus de 16 fois celle en population générale.

• Вы больше не представляете себе, как разговаривать с человеком, страдающим зависимостью?
Согласно оценке, в Швейцарии проживают несколько сотен тысяч людей на одной жилплощади вместе с наркоманами. Таким образом, людей, переживающих подобное, множество. Вы не одиноки!
