Pregnancy in Women with Disability: The Right to Information, Knowledge and Quality on Prevention and Accompaniment

Description

The PREG-EQUAL project addresses the horizontal priority of Social Inclusion and aims at promoting equity and combating all types of discrimination based on disability and gender. Reproductive, Pregnancy and Maternal Health is a priority for WHO, Unicef, the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations and all member-states. Women with disability live not only difficulties in access but also disappointment and bad experiences concerning “emotional well being and support, effective information dissemination, appropriate communication and understanding, involvement in decision making and support to build respect and trusting relationships with health care providers” (M., 2018). Erasmus+ states as a priority “promote the participation of people from disadvantaged groups, with less opportunities and/or with special needs, in order to potentiate equity and inclusion” (Priorities 2018). General aims: 1. Enhance life quality of women with disability and their families; 2. Promote inclusion, equity and their participation in civil society; 3. Enhance their participation skills, health knowledge and behaviours; 4. Enhance health professional skills concerning relation to people with disabilities; 5. Develop VET tailored answers related to real in job needs in the area of disability and health. Specific aims: 1. Foment knowledge and consciousness for women with disability on reproductive matters, Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (VIP), sexual health, pregnancy, maternity healthy behaviours and emotional support; 2. Improve psychological, emotional support and informational support for women with disability by empowering their families and sexual/marital partners; 3. Improve better health care services and psychological and emotional support for women with disability by preparing health professionals to effectively communicate, disseminate information and create trustful relations; 4. Collect data in the partner countries national wide to assess numbers of women with disability in pre-natal and maternity care public health system and evaluate the quality of care. The tangible results will be: O1) Women with Disability and Empowerment on Reproductive Choices and Maternity - tailored training program to inform and empower women with disability on reproductive choices, VIP, sexual health, pregnancy health, maternity rights, obligations and public health services (45 participants); O2) Families and the Importance to Support Reproductive Choices and Maternity of Women with Disability - tailored training program to families and sexual/marital partners of women with disability to empower them to better support and inform these women (30 participants); O3) Health Professionals and Women with Disability – The Right to Information, Knowledge and Quality of Services – high quality training to help professionals better support and inform women with disability, communicate effectively, build a respect and trustful relation, specificities of intellectual disability like understanding information, type of information that is more appropriate, main doubts and concerns and the importance of involving family (40 participants); O4) PREG-EQUAL: Women with disability - The Right to Information, Knowledge and Quality on Prevention and Accompaniment in Pregnancy – results and analysis of a research carried out nationally in each country to assess conditions and quality of service that is given to women with disability in pre-natal and maternal public services (at least a 65% respondent rate per country). The project will also include a B-Mobility of VET Learners that involves 12 participants from the target-groups divided as following: 1 health professional, 2 women with disability and 1 familiar or sexual/marital partner to attend a training activity, led by the CDF in october 2019, on “Pre-Natal Care and Maternity Care, Reproductive Choices and Fundamental Rights”. It will include the approach to the theme by experts from CDF and the Faculty of Psychology from the UC, visits to the Risk Unit of Daniel de Matos Maternity, other Maternal Care centres and VET institutions for people with disability. The added value of the activity is directly involving the target-groups, particularly women with disability and their families, in learning opportunities abroad allowing them to reflect themselves in the European space and promoting a sense of world citizenship. 5 Transnational Meetings are strategically scheduled approximately each 6 months to monitor the development and good quality of the IO and plan the implementation of further activities and products. A Dissemination Plan will be carried out to make the project Visible, Create and Raise Awareness, Promote the results and Engage participants, key stakeholders, policy makers and Ministries. Four multiplier events will be developed bringing to discussion all parties at international scale to divulge the results and the publications of the Training Manuals and the PREG-EQUAL
