In Rashaya district the activities are run in the Women Safe Space (WSS) in Dar El Ahmar and in the villages of El-Rafide, Kherbit Rowha, Rachaya El Wadi and Dahr El Ahmar. In collaboration with the staff already on board (psychologist, lawyer, case workers and community mobilizers, field activity coordinator), the midwife will be involved in both activities through specialized support and counselling to women at risk, survivors of SGBV, and children affected by Child Protection concerns. This assistance can include health counseling/advice/information, support in dealing with medical procedures and providing trainings on (referral pathways for) GBV and CP to healthcare providers.
