During 4-5 December 2012 in Kharkiv, UNFPA, jointly with UNHCR conducted a 2-day training workshop for asylum seekers and refugees on the issues of Reproductive Health, Family Planning and Safe Behavior. Participants included refugees and asylum seekers from Kyrgyzstan, Senegal, Syria, Papya new Guinea, Mali and Cameroon.
Mr. Andrey Poshtaruk, UNFPA Programme Officer officially opened the workshop and stressed on the fact that regardless of nationality, country or cultural and religious background, issues of your Reproductive Health and Family Planning are equally important for all women. Reproductive Health, Family Planning, and correct understanding of condom use do not reduce the size of the families but rather ensure that health of women is well preserved for future wanted pregnancies. Training also provides information on dangerous infections, including HIV, and ways how to prevent these infections in order to have a healthy life.
10-11 December workshop on Reproductive Health, Family Planning and Safe Behavior was held in Mukacheve.
