Social protection and gender equality
Ginger SOFRECO is committed to strengthening social protection and promoting gender equality in the field of health. Our activities aim to ensure equitable access to healthcare for all people, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, especially women and children. We support governments and institutions in developing and implementing inclusive social protection policies that incorporate universal health coverage and safety nets.
Gender equality is at the heart of our work, which includes the systematic integration of gender mainstreaming in health programmes, capacity strengthening for health actors on inclusion issues and initiatives to support for women's empowerment. Our projects contribute to reducing health inequalities by promoting fairer and more inclusive environments for all people.

Challenges and prospects
Giving a voice to women and marginalised groups
There can be no equitable health or social protection without gender equality. This applies to policy, planning and practice. Yet despite growing commitments, many systems continue to treat gender as an external issue rather than a structural determinant of access, risk and resilience.
At Ginger SOFRECO, we strive to mainstream gender into every phase of the project cycle, from strategy design to implementation and accountability. This means challenging norms, investing in data systems and ensuring that women and marginalised groups have a voice. True equality is not a box to tick. It is the foundation of resilient, rights-based systems.
