Embassy of the Republic of Korea to the Republic of Lebanon

With generous funding from Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Lebanon, in partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) and in collaboration with the Social Workers’ Syndicate in Lebanon (SWSL),  launched a project aimed at enhancing access to gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual and reproductive health services (SRH) across Lebanon. UNFPA and MoSA are ensuring that women and girls with increasing needs in hard-to-reach areas affected by the hostilities in Lebanon are able to access lifesaving services. As part of this effort, a medical mobile unit was deployed in Maghdoushi, South Lebanon, to serve the area and surrounding villages. It is staffed with a gynecologist, nurse, and social worker who are equipped to deliver holistic gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health care to underserved communities.
