Teacher/Facilitator – Adolescent Sexual And Reproductive Health And Rights
Sexual and reproductive health education in primary and secondary schools is a crucial component of both economic and social development. It is essential for raising awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and for addressing and preventing adolescents’ risky sexual behaviors. Consequences of such behaviors include sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV/AIDS), unwanted teenage pregnancies and dangerous abortions.
Recommended:
Disparities in sex education practices are holding back ongoing efforts to reverse the trend of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Urgent action is required to help teach adolescents about their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Based outside the city of Arusha, Maternity Africa (www.maternityafrica.org) provides maternal health care services to vulnerable and marginalized women and girls of childbearing age. From day-to-day experience, Maternity Africa recognizes many of the problems associated with poor SRHR education among the local adolescent population.
Maternity Africa recently commenced an exciting new programme providing sexual and reproductive health training to adolescents in ten primary and secondary schools in our local catchment area. In addition to providing training in schools the programme will also deliver training in churches, youth clubs and other facilities. The work will also involve radio broadcasts, social media and in print form.
Maternity Africa is seeking to grow the current team by employing a teacher or adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights trainer. For now it would be a specific assignment until 30 June 2023. Subject to available funding, the role could be extended beyond that date.
