The project "http://www.interarts.net/es/encurso.php?p=422" Decides España, developed by the International Health Programme of the Catalan Institute of Health (PROSICS) and Interarts, with the participation of Dr. Jordi Gómez, from the infectious diseases group at VHIR, has launched the webpage "http://decides-diverxual.pro/" Diverxual, with the aim to provide to health professionals the knowledge and practical tools related with sexual and reproductive health.The platform offers specialized workshops, training videos, guidelines and official health protocols related to this field. The website is addressed to professionals working in public and private associations or entities who give support to immigrants in the access to sexual and reproductive health. Diverxual is part of the project Decides España, whose aim is to improve equity in the access to and exercise of sexual and reproductive rights of young and women of migrant origin in Spain. PROSICS professionals did an assessment of the situation in Spain, which concluded that it was necessary to develop new educational and informative materials on affective sexual and reproductive health integrating the approach of equity, gender and cultural specificities.Decides España is project co-funded by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area which aims at contributing to the reduction of economic and social inequalities, and strengthening links between donor (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and beneficiary countries (17 EU Member States). The Plataforma de ONG de Acción Social is the Operational Unit of the Active Citizenship Programme endowed with EUR 4.6 million to support the contribution of NGOs to social justice and sustainable development.
