ARROW recognises the importance of forging genuine and equal partnerships with NGOs that share common goals, objectives and strategies to enable NGOs from the region to present a united and stronger voice in order to influence women’s health and rights in the regional and international arena. These NGOs are also committed to ICPD and Beijing implementation of women’s health and rights, particularly sexual and reproductive health and rights. Most of these partners have either participated or collaborated in ARROW activities or projects.
ARROW’s work in Bangladesh involves both the International Conference of Population and Development (ICPD) + 15 Project and the Women’s Health and Rights Advocacy Partnership South Asia (WHRAP- SA)- Project.
In the ICPD + 15 project, ARROW’s partner – Naripokkho has chosen one main issue to research and advocate – eclampsia. Eclampsia is one of the major causes of maternal deaths in Bangladesh, a potentially fatal disorder among pregnant women which has been prevalent since time immemorial. It remains an important cause of maternal mortality throughout the world, accounting for about 50,000 deaths worldwide and is the third major cause of maternal deaths in Bangladesh.
In the WHRAP-SA project, ARROW’s partners are Naripokkho and the Bangladesh Women’s Health Coalition (BWHC). The WHRAP-SA project focuses on strengthening civil society capacity to effectively advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), especially safe motherhood and young people's SRHR at the local, national and regional levels.
