Project activities include: (1) ensuring protection from and response to gender-based violence; (2) providing emergency obstetric care and sexual and reproductive health services; and (3) providing health services medication dignity and reproductive health kits to crisis-affected people.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved sexual and reproductive health of vulnerable populations; and (2) increased protection from gender-based violence. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
