We provide essential humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees as well as vulnerable Jordanians, while promoting longer term sustainable solutions to challenges facing Jordan, with a focus on Climate Justice, Economic Justice, and Gender Justice. Power to Choose: Power to Choose aims to promote the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of the most marginalized people, particularly adolescent girls and young women. The program is implemented by 17 partners in seven countries (Bolivia, Honduras, Jordan, Lebanon, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Ghana, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) as well as in Canada, and through regional programming in Latin America and the Caribbean and the Middle East and North Africa. The program supports adolescent girls and women in learning about and enjoying their rights, while collaborating with men and influential community actors; improves access to sexual and reproductive health services by training health providers and providing financial and material support to health facilities; and strengthens the advocacy capacities of womens and youth organizations. More than 101,000 people have been directly reached, 70% of whom are women and 73% are youth and adolescents. Power to Choose is jointly funded by Global Affairs Canada and Oxfam-Québec.
