The Highlands Sexual, Reproductive and Maternal Health project aimed to meaningfully and sustainably improve the health and wellbeing of women, their families and communities in targeted rural areas of Morobe Province. The project used a rights-based Community Workshop Series approach supporting the National Department of Health sector gender policy to enhance women’s decision-making in relation to health seeking practices; educating women and men about their right to health and supporting their family and spouses to seek care; and improving gender integration into health services so that women, men, boys and girls can access gender-sensitive care. CARE delivered this project with key partners including the Morobe Provincial Department of Health, Church healthcare providers, and local non-government organisation Barola Haus Mama. A review of the Community Workshop Series approach is also available.
