UNFPA is the lead UN agency for sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence interventions in Myanmar, with field offices in six locations, including Kachin, Northern Shan and Kayin. The field offices support the integrated service delivery of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), including HIV, and Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response programming across humanitarian, development and peacebuilding nexus. The work is to support strengthened service delivery, greater coverage as well as leveraging social norm change at the community level, to give effect to evidence based policy and law development to achieve women’s human rights at the national level.
Young Key Populations (YKP) are at increased vulnerability for HIV infection and face stigma and discrimination on accessing services and information. Prevalence data indicates that conflict affected states are also among those with the highest HIV rates prioritized in the National Strategic Action Plan on HIV and AIDS. In order to tackle the issue, UNFPA has developed 12 video clips containing key messages on SRHR for the YKPs, through the financial support of Joint UN Programme of HIV/AIDS (UBRAF).
