The Working with Women project-II builds on the success of the pilot initiative (2014-17) where 10 inclusive business models were implemented in 20 factories through 10 NGO service providers and private companies to ensure affordable and accessible SRHR services and products for the garment workers. The four years project has been leveraging different mechanisms and platforms, to ensure access to health facilities, including sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) of garment workers. And to achieve the goals, the project aims to follow a three-tier approach: (i) educating the garment management on the policies related to SRHR and health for workers; (ii) scaling three IB models and fine-tune them to a more concrete shape for adoption across the garment sector and (iii) and engaging more and more private companies to design affordable and accessible solutions and service package for the garment workers.
