The Women's Health app, developed by Nile Sisters Development Initiative (NSDI), provides resources to support individuals impacted by forms of gender-based violence, including Female Genital Cutting (FGC). The app empowers users through education, community engagement, and direct access to services and is available in English, Amharic, Arabic, French, Somali, and Swahili.
The app offers educational resources that inform users about gender-based violence, health issues, and available support systems. These resources are culturally sensitive and accessible, ensuring users from diverse backgrounds can benefit.
Key features include a platform for community engagement through events and forums. Users can stay informed about upcoming events, workshops, and support group meetings, and connect with others who share similar experiences. The forums provide a safe space for sharing stories, asking questions, and seeking advice from both peers and professionals.
Additionally, the app includes an appointment-setting feature, allowing users to easily schedule appointments for case management, counseling, and other support services directly through the app.
