BSR's HERproject--a factory-based women's health education program--has launched a new curriculum for women's health trainings in the workplace. Developed with funding from the Levi Strauss Foundation, the HERproject curriculum covers topics ranging from nutrition and waterborne diseases to HIV/AIDS and family planning. For each topic, the curriculum provides unique resources for interactive, one-hour training sessions to address sensitive and critical issues in the work environment. Additionally, each health topic includes a health manual, additional training materials, and a post-training quiz. Based on HERproject best practices and in partnership with leading public health and development organizations, BSR developed the open-source curriculum for a wide group of users, including nonprofit organizations working on community-based health education, factory or farm human resources staff, and health clinic professionals. The language is clear and simple, and the directions for how to implement the training programs are thorough enough for less-experienced trainers to understand and implement. All materials are available for download on the HERproject website. For more information, contact Jennifer Schappert.
