In July, WOFAD trained 20 peer educators from across Blantyre District with individuals coming from T/A Kuntaja, Kunthembwe and Machinjiri. Following this training, peer educators were equipped with bicycles and will be traveling through their communities to:
- Educate community members on SRHR related issues
- Provide counseling and guidance services to WLHIV whose rights have been violated. This includes providing referrals to women who have faced domestic and sexual abuses to relevant institutions.
- Advocate for the SRHR of WLHIV. This includes advocating for quality and non-discriminatory SRHR services and engaging traditional leaders, religious leaders and government officials at all levels
Some of the Chichewa material used for the training can be found here: Peer Educator Reference Manual
