Currently in rural areas of Colombia, there is a notable lack of information and education on sexual and reproductive health, exacerbated by deeply rooted myths and taboos. Communication on these issues between people in different age groups is scarce, contributing to the persistence of problems such as unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. This situation is aggravated by the lack of access to adequate health services.
Asumir is committed to comprehensive human development, in each of its dimensions, one of which is sexual and reproductive health. We do so through approaches of joint management, territorial management and sustainable development. In the face of the challenges of public policy on sexual and reproductive health we have adopted a processes and pedagogical approach based on the training of trainers and the generation of capacities and opportunities for populations. We recognize the possibility of generating, by 2025, spaces for the transformation of myths and taboos, and reducing the existing communication gap at the family and intergenerational level, especially in rural areas with vulnerable populations in Colombia.
Specifically, we intend to work with 100 women leaders and their families, so that they multiply knowledge and are trainers of future generations.
