104 countries have laws addressing domestic violence. Most provide budgetary commitments for services on violence against women.

Countries that have enacted these laws reported lower rates of intimate-partner violence.

Laws must work to #EndViolenceAgainstWomenAndGirls

[Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights @arhrghana]

Femicide is a universal issue affecting all countries. It is the ultimate & most brutal manifestation in a continuum of violence against #women & #girls.

These #16DaysOfActivism, we call for #recommitment, #accountability & #resourcing to end all forms of violence.

#ENDviolence

[Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights @arhrghana]

According to @UN_Women, nearly 1 in 3 women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner, non-partner sexual violence or both at least once in their lives.

Accelerating action on #GBV will save more women from the abuse.

Let's #UNiTE to end violence!

Data strengthens advocacy by providing a foundation for proposed solutions.

Data collection is #ongoing in our project communities to ascertain barriers that hinder women from accessing health care as part of our initiative to put #women & #girls at the centre of #PHC.

Sexual and reproductive justice is not negotiable. It is the basis for bodily autonomy, fundamental freedom and human rights. If we can’t decide what happens to our own bodies, what can we decide?

Globally, every $1 invested in women’s health unlocks $3 in economic growth. Individual stories of empowerment and autonomy ladder up into economic prosperity. It’s all #MadePossibleByFP. https://t.co/PStqjD7S6V

Day 2 of #AmrefLearningForum2024 recap: Key highlights included:
✅Social Determinants of Health (SDOH): Amref is advancing its understanding of SDOH, integrating factors like education, livelihoods, gender, and climate into health programming. A preliminary landscape analysis shows that addressing SDOH holistically could significantly reduce health disparities.
✅Data-Driven Decision-Making: An emphasis is placed on gathering and utilising diverse data sources, including clinical and population data, to create impactful health interventions. Collaborative data partnerships with other ministries and organisations will support this approach.
✅Integration of Health Systems: Amref is developing an integrated technical framework to streamline efforts across its programs, reduce silos, and promote efficiency. This approach is essential for creating person-centred health systems that deliver comprehensive care.
✅Community Empowerment and Accountability: Community-based health financing and social accountability mechanisms are essential. Amref aims to build community capacity to advocate, monitor, and engage in health budgeting and expenditure to ensure resources are used effectively.
✅Advocacy and Literacy: Effective health interventions require community-specific approaches. Amref is committed to improving health literacy through culturally relevant communication strategies, using local languages and methods familiar to communities. #AmrefTransforms2030 #AmrefBigBets #AmrefLearningForum2024 #Amref4PHC @GatesFoundation @CDCgov @TheENDFund @EU_Commission @FCDOGovUK
