Starting in February and running until August 2021, Un Ponte Per through its project 'Himaya - access to GBV services for newly displaced and returnees', funded by the Iraqi Humanitarian Fund (OCHA), initiates a new intervention to support the Iraqi displaced population - and in particular women - in West Mosul, Nineveh Governorate in Iraq.
The intervention is aimed at expanding access - especially of the most vulnerable communities and people - to life-saving services for the prevention and management of gender-based violence, as well as at supporting the National Health System through psychosocial support and maternal and child health services directed at people who have returned to their homes after the expulsion of Daesh: gender-based violence awareness, prevention and response sessions, medical examinations and therapeutic sessions with specialised personnel, psychosocial support and protection services will be provided for nearly 4.000 repatriated, resettled, internally displaced persons, the majority of whom are women, girls, children.
