Women’s Well-Being
The Rights Based Approach
The majority of the women we work with are unaware of their right to good care and support services. Many are unaware of existing services which can provide a safe and confidential environment to enable them to manage health and well-being issues. The aim of this project is to enable women to become aware of their rights relating to health and well-being services and to be a catalyst in their communities for change in accessing these services. In taking this approach, women can prevent future illnesses and also detect existing illnesses before they become difficult to treat.
This project offers a range of services for women, including: health awareness building workshops, information and advice, self-help group support, counseling and referrals to services.
“I was at home with the baby and do the same thing every day. Now I am happy I leave the house. It was so hard at first to leave. But now I feel better about myself, I have confidence and look at me. I am even a Community Health Champion. Mosaic really helped me a lot.”
