Measures to raise women's and girls' awareness of sexual and reproductive
health and legal issues:
Dissemination of the Reproductive Health (RH) law at the national, regional and district
levels through radio and TV programmes and talk shows;
Dissemination of reproductive health, family planning and STI policies, standards and
protocols;
Production of post-literacy leaflets in local languages and basic French on women, girls and
adolescents on family planning, the fight against HIV, female genital mutilation (FGM),
safe motherhood and women’s rights. These leaflets are available in literacy centres and
village libraries;
Education, Population, Reproductive Health Development (EPD/RH) programme
implemented by the Ministry of Education.
Measures to improve the use and availability of contraceptive methods,
provide information on family planning:
development of a plan to reposition family planning in Togo with:
the training of service providers in clinical family planning;
the monitoring/supervision of trained service providers;
the organization of radio and TV programmes on the advantages of family
planning;
the training of Community Health Workers (CHWs) to promote family
planning (offering of injectable methods by CHWs);
598. It is equally necessary to state the salvific effect of sensitization, information
and communication activities carried out with CSOs on the reduction of the HIV
prevalence rate. Launched in October 2014 by UNFPA, in collaboration with the
CNLS, the condomize campaign (practical prevention tips followed by free
distribution of condoms and femidoms), to arouse people's desire and the need to
protect themselves in any risky sexual intercourse is a laudable example. In
addition to that there was the continuation of the programme on Compulsory
Teaching of Health Education in Schools to prevent AIDS and STIs (ESEPSI).
599. Furtheremore, there was a wide range of training programmes for members of
women's and mixed groups on HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs),
prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, gender-based violence, the
adavantages of antenatal care and family planning. At the end of the training, the peer
counselors were provided with picture boxes on the various themes to carry out
sensitization in their institutions and communities.
