Description and results
Description
This project works to increase equal opportunities for school-age girls and young women, including those with disabilities, to attend school in Gogrial West, South Sudan. Project activities include: (1) providing menstrual hygiene management support; (2) constructing safe water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in schools; and (3) conducting training and education sessions with parents, school personnel, students, and school management committees on hygiene, menstrual hygiene management, and sexual and gender based violence (SGBV). The project aims to support approximately 9,000 school-aged girls and young women in selected primary and secondary schools. Boys are included in specific aspects of the project – such as education, school clubs, hygiene product distribution – to encourage their full participation and reduce instances of SGBV in schools. This project works to directly contribute to Canada’s G7 Charlevoix Declaration on Quality Education for Girls, Adolescent Girls and Women in Developing Countries.
Expected results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved safe hygiene and sanitation practices in selected schools, especially for girls; and (2) enhanced protection from school-based sexual and gender-based violence, especially for girls.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of May 2023 include: (1) 7,707 girls have received dignity kits, including sanitary pads, underwear and soap, to manage their periods; (2) 35 schools have newly constructed or rehabilitated water and sanitation facilities; and (3) 190 communities and 38 schools have received behaviour change communication messaging on sexual and gender-based violence, such as early and forced marriage of girls.
