Inequalities and violence against women and adolescents<\/h2>\r\nInequalities and risks of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) persist, particularly towards vulnerable women and adolescents<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThese inequalities notably concern access to education and health, particularly sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), as well as their participation in the economy and decision-making, especially in political spheres.\r\n\r\nAgriculture and livestock farming represent the predominant economic activities for women in Niger, but they have limited access to production factors.<\/strong>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"texte","texte":"

For the development of women and adolescents in Niger (DEVENIR project)<\/h2>\r\nM\u00e9decins du Monde has partnered with SOCODEVI, an NGO specializing, among other things, in the economic empowerment of women through cooperatives<\/strong>, to mutually strengthen their actions. This project is also carried out in collaboration with several local stakeholders, such as religious leaders, the health district, and cooperatives, enabling essential community engagement for the project's success.\r\n\r\nThis innovative project proposes an approach aimed at improving women's and adolescents' access to health care and strengthening their economic power<\/strong>, with the goal of ensuring that lack of resources is no longer an obstacle to their empowerment<\/strong>, informed decision-making, and access to care:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • Improve the economic power of women and adolescents to meet their basic needs and develop activities adapted to climate challenges<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Improve the use of health services, including primary health care, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health, mental health, prevention, and management of SGBV<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Increase the mobilization of stakeholders in the economic, social, and cultural sectors in favor of the rights and empowerment of women and adolescents<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"citation","citation_texte":"\u201cI use my basic knowledge, my experience as a stay-at-home mother, and my role as a matriarch to draw communities\u2019 attention to the importance of preserving their health by encouraging them to go to the health centre to receive appropriate medical care.
