Operation SALAMA of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) <\/a>managed to reach over 16 million people to help them confront the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The operation \u2013 spearheaded \u00a0in late March – worked across multiple fronts, spreading accurate information about disease prevention, protecting health professionals and pregnant women from COVID-19, and minimizing the economic effects of the pandemic on the most vulnerable people.<\/p>\n

UNFPA also worked with health officials to ensure maternal health services remained available, even as the health system grappled with\u00a0tens of thousands of cases\u00a0of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Maternal health facilities were adapted to reduce the risk of coronavirus exposure. Health workers also received \u201cSALAMA kits\u201d containing protective equipment and sanitation supplies.<\/p>\n

More than 700 health-care professionals attended remote training sessions about disease prevention and management.<\/p>\n

SALAMA kits with hygiene supplies and disease-prevention information were also distributed to vulnerable groups, including migrants, older people, persons with disabilities, survivors of violence, young people and people in detention.<\/p>\n

Nearly 8,000 people were reached with these kits.<\/p>\n

Over its three months of operation, field interventions were carried out in 275 health centers, maternity hospitals, social protection centers, prisons, child protection centers, women’s homes and service associations, covering more than 90 urban and rural localities.<\/p>\n

The program brought together a wide range of partners, from the government and civil society organizations to youth groups, health worker associations and the private sector. It also received support from the Canadian and Belgian embassies in Morocco.<\/p>\n

As a follow-up, UNFPA has launched the \u201cSALAMA at Work\u201d initiative, which continues efforts to raise awareness about COVID-19 prevention. The initiative is also removing barriers to care and support services, promoting healthy behaviors, and calling for safe and inclusive working environments that ensure respect for women\u2019s rights, dignity and equality.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Operation SALAMA also worked to minimize the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n

Globally, for example, pandemic-related lockdowns and stresses have been associated with rising rates\u00a0of violence against women and girls. Yet at the same time, movement restrictions and facility closures have limited the availability\u00a0of services for survivors of violence.<\/p>\n

In Morocco, Operation SALAMA established a helpline to allow survivors to seek assistance. Remote counseling systems and services were also created.<\/p>\n

From March to June, some 106 survivors of violence were able to receive support though these new mechanisms.<\/p>\n

Income-generating opportunities were also created for economically vulnerable women.<\/p>\n

Larimode, a clothing company, expanded its operations to create jobs, for instance. \u201cThe company has outsourced part of its production to integrate single mothers into employment and provide them with a stable and dignified income,\u201d said Meriem Larini, Larimode\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n

The building materials company BCSS also created opportunities for \u201cvulnerable women in this period of crisis,\u201d the company\u2019s CEO, Chaibia Balbzioui Alaoui, noted.<\/p>\n

In total, around 30 women have found stable employment through Operation SALAMA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
