PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation:
This project is a follow-up phase of the project "Strengthening Girls' Rights! Reproductive Health and HIV Prevention for Young Zambian Women II."
Women and girls from low-income families or rural areas are particularly disadvantaged in Zambian society. Discriminatory gender roles, norms, and behaviors limit their self-determination and access to social and health services. Violence against girls and women is widespread and highly tolerated.
More than half of Zambia's population is under 18 years old. Young people, many of them women, are particularly likely to become infected with HIV. The reasons for this include inadequate sex education and limited access to health services.
Zambian women often lack economic opportunities, which makes them more dependent on partners and male family members. Due to early marriage, caregiving responsibilities, and pregnancies, they often have to drop out of school. This reduces their career opportunities, which also hinders Zambia's economic development.
Objective
Selected governmental and non-governmental stakeholders in the project regions are increasingly committed to promoting the rights of young people. This can help prevent HIV, early pregnancy, and gender-based violence.
Approach
The project focuses on the following areas:
• It supports the relevance of local HIV and AIDS counselors in local administrations
