Project Safidy and it’s partner organisations have been busy getting the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Network’s Facebook page ready and it is live now! With young people in Madagascar relying on Facebook for a lot of their news and information, the Network aims to actively engage young people in Madagascar with SRHR issues affecting them. |

| With fisheries in Madagascar traditionally being male dominated, the role women play in buying and selling the catch is often overlooked and women struggle to make their voices and opinions heard. Project Oratsimba is training a group of Women Marine Ambassadors to promote the role that women play and to make it easier for them to influence and guide the management of the fishery on which their livelihood, as well as the men’s, depends. |
