HealthRight is developing a program to train health workers in Kenya on sexual minority and gender competency, to build trust and establish a better relationship between both communities.
Men who are sex workers in Kenya continue to experience high HIV incidence and the highest HIV prevalence of any population group in the country. HealthRight is implementing a first-of-its-kind demonstration project exploring the effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infections in uninfected MSW in Kenya. Reaching this highly marginalized population with comprehensive prevention, care, and treatment services is not only critical for reducing HIV incidence among MSM and MSWs, but ultimately for reducing incidence among the general population as well.
Unaccompanied migrant children (UMCs) face many challenges navigating the immigration, health, and social service systems in the U.S. alone. Drawing on years of experience through our Human Rights Clinic (HRC), HealthRight is recruiting and training medical and mental health providers who specialize in pediatrics and child development to provide child-friendly and trauma-informed forensic evaluations and needs assessments for UMCs who have fled torture, abuse, and neglect in their home countries.
Each year, thousands of survivors of torture and other severe human rights abuses flee persecution in their home countries, seeking asylum and other protections in the United States. Since 1993, HealthRight’s Human Rights Clinic (HRC) has trained, deployed and supported healthcare workers to provide critical forensic evaluations and case management services to immigrant survivors who have experienced torture, gender-based violence (GBV), LGBT-based persecution, female genital cutting (FGC), and human trafficking. The HRC has provided more than 5,500 forensic evaluations to over 4,800 survivors of torture and abuse from 130 countries.
