Exploring the role of Community Health Workers in Maternal and Child Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in Central and South America

我的研究旨在回答巴西和哥伦比亚的收容社区和流离失所社区如何围绕性健康和生殖健康权利（SRHR）进行互动。我将特别审查受到生殖健康指标不成比例影响的人口，例如流离失所妇女和（或）土著妇女。我的项目的主要目的是确定阻碍妇女实现其性别和性别权利的最紧迫的问题。研究的目的是强调当地妇女和社区卫生工作者（CHW）确定的阻碍社区卫生工作者积极接触边缘化人群的障碍。这将导致建议改进保健方案和涉及卫生保健工作者的培训，使他们能够成为更具变革性的变革推动者。这项研究将有助于为卫生从业人员和政策制定者提供知识，使他们了解如何实现性健康和生殖健康权利，并改善边缘群体的生殖健康。我打算研究收容社区和接收社区的卫生工作者目前在多大程度上管理这些差异；确定边缘化人群的主要需求和需求，并创建一个框架，使卫生工作者能够最大限度地发挥其作为变革推动者的能力。因此，我将调查的子问题包括：a)巴西和哥伦比亚的国家行为体如何履行其确保性健康和生殖健康权利的义务？b)妇女在获得现有服务方面面临哪些障碍？c)卫生工作者如何更好地履行边缘化妇女的SRHR ？d)如何改进这些服务以纳入边缘化群体？

My research aims to answer how host and displaced communities in Brazil and Colombia interact aroundSexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR).I would specifically examine populations who are disproportionately affected by indicators ofreproductive health, such as displaced and/or indigenous women.The key aim of my project would be to determine the most pressing issues that prevent women fromrealising their SRHR. Research would aim to highlight barriers identified by local women and CommunityHealth Workers (CHW) that prevent CHWs positive engaging with marginalised populations. This wouldlead to suggesting improvements to health programmes and training involving CHWs, enabling them tobecome more transformative agents of change. The research would contribute to knowledge to informhealth practitioners and policymakers how to fulfil SRHR and improve reproductive health in marginalgroups.I intend to examine the extent to which CHWs in host and receiving communities currently manage thesedifferences; identify key wants and needs in marginalised populations and create a framework that wouldenable CHWs to maximise their capabilities as agents of change. Therefore, sub-questions I will beinvestigating include:a) How are state actors in Brazil and Colombia fulfilling their obligations to secure sexual andreproductive health rights?b) What are the barriers women face in accessing existing services?c) How can CHWs better fulfil the SRHR of marginalised women?d) How can these services be improved to include marginalised groups?
