ACTIVITIES

MdM has organised a community awareness campaign around sexual and reproductive health and violence against adolescents, for key figures in the communities, religious groups and civil society. A campaign has been launched for the government to make this a priority. As a result of the training of groups of adolescents and the creation of 10 specific municipal centres, young girls have access to information on sexual and reproductive health, educational material and methods of contraception. Educational sessions are also led by school teachers in the area. Finally, the personnel in the 10 health centres have received technical training, enabling them to give quality attention to pregnant adolescents.

RESULTS

32,000 condoms distributed, 250 teachers trained, 3,856 adolescent girls followed training workshops, 10,800 beneficiaries trained.

OUTLOOK

MdM withdrew from this project at the beginning of 2010, but plans to stay in Peru and to continue to work on sexual and reproductive health for women of reproductive age in the Villa el Salvador district, in the south of Lima.
