Name of the Project: Women Health Organization Through Service and Education (WHOM) Project
Aims of the Project: With WHOM we aim at going beyond traditional understanding of health and developing a model which foresees the participation of individuals in the development of heath strategies and policies. Through the services to be delivered in the pilot region within the scope of the project, we will remind the population of their rights and responsibilities about reproductive health and measure the gains achieved in information, attitude and behaviours in the reproductive health related rights and responsibilities by making a comparison between the conditions before and after the project.
