Dear COHI Community,
We are so please to report that, in large part due to your continued support, we have enough funds to run a training in trauma-based care for reproductive health workers based in Syria.
To finish off this ominous year with such a source of light and community is bringing COHI, and our partners in Damascus, so much hope. Despite the lack of coverage in the media, Syria continues to be plagued by conflict - whether from the rebel forces, Assad's army, or the remaining ISIS factions. This is why COHI has made it a priority to continue the funding and implementation of workshops and trainings around reproductive justice for women's health workers in the region.
This Fall's workshop will focus on training reproductive health workers in the methods for effectively responding to cases of gender-based violence. An unfortunate reality in times of conflict is the increase in sexual assault - which is why it is so important that the health workers that Syrian women and girls turn to are well versed in the proper responses.
But this workshop will not be enough - we can only accept 15 - 20 healthcare workers per training, and there are so many more that must be reached in order to better the healthcare outcomes for women and girls in Syria. Will you help us expand our programming across the region?
In gratitude,
COHI Staff & Board
