ACCESS IN THE MENA REGION

RAWSA MENA, a network hosted by the Groupe Tawhida Ben Cheikh as its legal manager in Tunisia, is recruiting a consultant for a study on the impact of Covid-19 on SRHR access in the MENA region.

CONTEXT

RAWSA Network in North Africa and Middle East region brings together human rights organizations and feminist activists for a regional advocacy in support of the right to safe abortion. 

The RAWSA Network, created in May 2019, believes that every woman has the right to decide on her body and have access to Sexual and Reproductive services without being prosecuted and/or imprisoned.

Our objective is to Limit restrictive policies related to sexual and reproductive rights including those on abortion – because they are in contradiction with the principles of Human Rights. We wish to remove discriminatory barriers to access to safe reproductive health service.

Our project is based on 3 pillars: 

• Develop then strengthen a regional network for the exchange of experience and of good practices between associations and activists defending the sexual and reproductive rights;
• Develop advocacy for promoting the legal environment and social support for the right to safe abortion in the MENA region;
• Develop research to provide information showing the impact on women’s health and right of unsafe abortion. 

In these activitie’s framework, the RAWSA MENA Network is recruiting a consultant for a report on the impact of Covid-19 on SRHR access in the MENA region.

More specifically, the consultant will show which are the barriers to access to SRHR and safe abortion services in the different countries of the region. Then he or she will show how the Covid-19 pandemic affects this access and how the countries and governments reacted to provide and/or to reestablish SRHR services.
