Resume

The purpose of the intervention is to facilitate sexual & reproductive health rights (S&RHR) education with students and create an S&RHR program alongside teachers. The intervention will take place with a partner school in rural Colombia. The partner school expressed the need for support since they have no S&RHR program at the school, and through word of mouth have learned about the work MCMK C has done in similar contexts. The school is located in an area with high rates of teen pregnancies, gender-based violence and see an urgent need to acquire tools to work with these issues. The intervention includes developing materials, in-person workshops with students while teacher will participate in both in-person workshops and webinars to create a S&RHR education program for the school that can become a permanent part of the curriculum. A total of 114 students in the age 8-21 and 8 teachers will participate in the intervention.
