Facilitator for GBV Specific Human Right and Legal Practices Training at Medecins Du Monde

GBV Specific Human Rights for WiNN- Facilitator (1)

General overview

Over the years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organization committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies. Those working for this independent organization do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in many countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, combating HIV, and reducing the harm and risks associated with drug use, crises, and conflicts.

Starting 2016 and up till now Medecins du Monde has been intervening in Nigeria (Maiduguri and Damboa). MdM’s provides a comprehensive PHC health package that includes GBV services. The PHC’s are situated in IDP camps but the services are accessible to both IDP and host communities.
