| The CHARCA project is a coordinated effort to increase
capacities and reduce the vulnerability of young women
in India to STIs and HIV infection. |
| |
| The project is being implemented in the districts of
Bellary (Karnataka), Guntur (Andhra Pradesh), Udaipur
(Rajasthan), Kanpur (UP), Kishanganj (Bihar) and Aizawl
(Mizoram). |
| |
| CHARCA aims to reduce young women’s vulnerability
by providing information, improving skills and increasing
access to quality reproductive health services. It also
aims to build leadership, increase support networks and
create positive enabling environment. Through this process,
it seeks to reduce HIV/AIDS and STIs among women and to
empower them to protect themselves and realise their rights.

| |
| This 3-year program of district and community-level
interventions is integrated through the following: |
- improved services;
- awareness raising and social mobilization;
- capacity building and skill development;
- building support structures;
- creating enabling environment. The interventions
are linked to behaviour change communication (BCC),
research and impact assessment, documentation, dissemination
and advocacy. Synergies and learning between districts
will be facilitated, shared and coordinated at state,
national and international levels.
