March 2021 - More than 5.4 million people have fled Venezuela since 2015. Many now live in Colombia; however, others remain in transit to countries like Peru or Ecuador. In Colombia, the refugee and migrant crisis continues to drive significant humanitarian needs, as the country remains afflicted by violence and insecurity in some regions. Populations with acute humanitarian needs, including refugees and migrants have also been impacted significantly by the pandemic. With GAC’s support, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and Profamilia work to improve access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and respond to sexual and gender-based violence in communities affected by the refugee and migrant crisis. Project activities include: (1) using Mobile Brigades to deliver comprehensive SRH services; (2) providing dignity kits to migrants with an emphasis on women and girls; and (3) delivering messages on gender-based violence and availability of support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved coverage of lifesaving SRH services for the Venezuelan migrant population and host communities; and (2) improved access to quality gender-based violence prevention and mitigation services for migrant and vulnerable populations. The ultimate outcome for this project is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity preserved in countries faced with humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
