Project Goals:

Increased knowledge on the link between urban violence and gender to inform ongoing debates on violence and urban security.
 

Gender-based violence is included in the agendas of stakeholders from social organizational and governments. Urban development plans are formulated with the active participation of women's organizations, civil society and local authorities, and include a gender perspective.

Women's networks and organizations have the capacity to influence local governments to include gender issues and women's safety in public policies.
 

Information and lessons learned on violence against women and urban security widely disseminated through regional channels to inform coalitions and the public.

The prevention of fistula and the treatment and reintegration of the patients are integral components of the Liberian Reproductive Health program. The prevention component is closely linked to outreach, awareness and education of the public, and access to comprehensive emergency obstetric care. Advocacy and the use of the media, especially the radio, are vital tools in this respect. Treatment and care of fistula is also an area of great concern. The JFK hospital fistula ward is being prepared to provide quality services in the treatment and care of obstetric fistula, as well as providing quality comprehensive training for doctors and other health care personnel.
