MARA-Med is proud to join IRIS, a project to promote evidence-based information on SRHR

IRIS is a project designed by Maghweb in collaboration with ASFAMM, ALEG, Schedia Stin Poli and Associació dels drets sexuals i reproductius, and funded by EACEA under the CERV programme, within the strand Citizens’ Engagement and Participation. The project aims to promote scientific, accurate and prejudice-free information on gender-equal sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), engaging educators, socio-health professionals, communicators and young people across five European countries, including Italy, Romania, Spain, Greece, and France.

IRIS is structured around a set of international and local activities that foster a critical understanding of how information manipulation, harmful narratives and misogynistic and gender-based hate shape public discourse on SRHR.

By joining IRIS, we aim to promote evidence-based and scientific information on SRHR, while also identifying signs of SRHR manipulation and debunking myths. Through this collaboration, we seek to contribute to a more informed public discourse, counter misinformation, and support policy and programming rooted in facts.
