Welcome note from SCORA RA for Africa Moments. Hugs. It’s with great pleasure and honour that I present to you the SCORA Sessions Survival Kit for the fast approaching African Regional Meeting at Burkina Faso, 18th t0 22nd of December. It’s really quite true that Time flies fast as I remember the wonderful time we had together during the Sessions last year at Rwanda, which I can say was a big success as we were able to tackle different issues we face as a Region together. I can also tell you without a doubt in my heart that the Sessions we will have in Burkina Faso during the ARM is more than something to look forward to, as it promises to be another 3 days full of fun, creativity, and brainstorming together as a Region. The Sessions have been prepared based on our inputs, our Regional priorities and other issues which seem there is a need for them to be addressed. The Session promises to be interactive as much as possible and they will also be Individual focused so that everyone present will have been impacted at the end of it all. So that, by the end of Sessions we will be able to input the knowledge gained into addressing some issues within our NMO both locally and nationally, participate more in SCORA activities and work further on ensuring that the Vision and Mission of the Standing Committee is achieved. I also do hope that at the end of the Sessions, as Angels, we would have developed enough wings to fly and implement positive changes through global thinking, keeping in mind as well, that our main aim for this Term is to Step up our reach. I do look forward to seeing both new and old Members for the Sessions. Keeping my Fingers double crossed. Let’s make this another memorable SCORAwesome Love, Afolabi Oluwatoyosi Tololupe SCORA RA for Africa 2016-2017 ra.scora.africa@ifmsa.org
Welcome note from the SCORA Director Dear SCORA Africa Your region has a whole lot to teach this world about compassion and resilience. About happiness. This same feeling we want to transmit about each other. This term’s AM will be held in your region and so, this space is to prepare ourselves to become stronger and have an impactful scora africa ready to challenge and address the daily barriers that we face when advocating for SRHR. Yes, we do have a lot to learn but we also have a lot to give and i believe that you can give in double to the world. It just takes a little imagination to jump higher or run faster. FGM, racism and other topics are well discussed in your countries and it is because of this that you guys have a lot to bring to the tables of discussion. You have a lot to tell to each other about the importance of fighting for these rights. I am so eager to meet you very soon and eager to see how much you've grown and will grow in this regional meeting, Warmest hugs from brazil, Carlos SCORA Director 2016-2017 scorad@ifmsa.org
About IFMSA The International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA), founded in 1951, is one of the world’s oldest and largest student-run organizations. It represents, connects and engages every day with medical students from 124 national members organizations in 116 countries around the globe. Our work is divided in four main global health areas: public health, sexual and reproductive health, medical education, human rights and peace. Each year, we organize over 13,000 clinical and research exchanges programs for our students to explore innovations in medicine, healthcare systems and healthcare delivery in other settings. IFMSA brings people together to exchange, discuss and initiate projects to create a healthier world. It trains its members to give them the skills and resources needed to be health leaders. It advocates for the pressing issues that matter to us to shape the world we want. And it does deliver: our projects, our campaigns and our activities positively impact the physicians-to be, the communities they serve, as well as the health systems around the world in which they practice as a trainee and eventually a medical doctor.
About SCORA The Standing Committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS WAS formed in 1992, driven by a strong will to take an active part in interventions concerning HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and to support people living with HIV/AIDS through working to decrease stigma and discrimination. It constitutes one out of the Six Standing Committees of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Association which serve as the Body of all Medical Students worldwide. SCORA with a large number of members-SCORAngels as they are called, have grown wide in its work, centered around five focus areas strongly related to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. In 2014, the name of SCORA changed to Standing Committee on Sexual and Reproductive Health including HIV/AIDS as it is more adequate in terms of topics and problems that SCORA is targeting in its actions.
a. SCORA Vision SCORA envisions a world where every individual is empowered to exercise their sexual and reproductive health rights equally, free from stigma and discrimination. b. SCORA Mission To provide our members with the tools necessary to advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights within their respective communities in a culturally respected fashion, this has been accomplished through building the skills and the knowledge about providing trainings on Comprehensive Sexuality Education, other respective reproductive health issues, exchanging ideas and projects, as well as drafting policies and working with our external partners in order to create change in local, regional and international level.
c. Objectives 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
To raise awareness on topics related to HIV/AIDS, and sexual and reproductive health. To decrease the stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS. To raise awareness and increase knowledge about facts, scientific research, global agreements and documents concerning sexual and reproductive health. Promote positive sexuality and healthy sexual life. Advocating for policies concerning sexual and reproductive health and represent medical student worldwide Collaborate and facilitate joint actions concerning medical education, public health and human rights. Provide tools for capacity building for future healthcare professionals in terms of sexual and reproductive health and rights
d. Focus Areas 1. Comprehensive Sexuality Education: SCORA is highly committed to raise awareness about sexual and reproductive health through education. We have great experience in training new peer educators through International Peer Education Trainings and Advanced Peer Education Trainings. A great network of peer educators are working together organizing regional Sexual Education conferences. 2. Maternal Health and access to safe abortion: Our aim is to raise awareness among our members about maternal and newborn health issues including family planning, access to antenatal care and ending stigma and discrimination towards abortion collaborating with our external partners – Medical Students for Choice and Ipas to train medical students as advocates for access to safe abortion. 3. Sexuality and gender identity: IFMSA is promoting positive sexuality and is one of the first youth organizations officially committed, by accepting Policy Statement to end stigma and discrimination in access to healthcare of LGBT+ individuals.
4. Gender Based Violence: SCORAngels are committed to fight against violence including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), sexual harassment and domestic violence. We are cooperating with the Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP) on actions to end human trafficking conducting sessions during our regional and international meetings. Campaigns are centralized on March 8th – International Women’s Day. 5. HIV and other STIs: IFMSA is the part of The PACT which is a coalition of youth organizations to end AIDS epidemic in the Post-2015 Agenda. We are collaborating with Y+, The Global Network of Young People Living with HIV/AIDS to conduct together campaigns for the most important SCORA International Days – World AIDS Day on December 1st and International AIDS Candlelight Memorial day (third Sunday of May).

SCORA Sessions Overview DAY 1 Who’s who?? What’s SCORA? Who are we? -We kick off the amazing sessions with introductions, during which we get to know at least a little about each other and also make the ground rules to be adhered to during the sessions, in order to ensure everything runs smoothly. This leads us to “SCORA 101”, where we get to know about SCORA-mission, vision, projects, and Partners, though some of us might be familiar about this already but for the New Angels, this is quite crucial.
SCORA AFRICA MAP; In case if you don’t know what the map of Africa looks like or you can’t draw one, this might just be an opportunity for you. Using the Africa Map as a Guide, we will discuss all the projects we have embarked on during the course of the year. This will help to know how far we have gone and our challenges, and at the same time give room to share ideas with others from other countries.
Improving Adolescent Health through Sex Education This is a topic that will be handled by one of our Externals- UNFPA (Burkina Faso). Sex Education within our Region has been hindered to an extent by our different cultural backgrounds and societal perceptions. This hasn’t contributed so well to the Health of Adolescents, been in a phase of life of new discovery of self, peer pressure and physiological changes in bodies, as they attain puberty. This can be seen in risky sexual behaviours common among Adolescents which has resulted into Teenage pregnancies, unsafe abortions, prevalence of HIV/AIDS and other STIs. , for instance among the
number of young people living with HIV, 4 million of them (80%) are in Sub Saharan Africa (UNAIDS, 2010), even though many were reported to be born with the disease, this still should be a wakeup call. During the minutes allocated for this Topic, the Facilitator from UNFPA will take us on why Sex education is important for a better quality of life for Adolescents and how we can ensure that they get the correct and adequate information they need to know so as to ensure they are well informed about their Sexual and Reproductive Health life and not kept in the dark.
Revisiting Sexual Violence During the last ARM at Rwanda, we had a Joint session with the SCORP Family on ‘Sexual Violence’, during which we were able to explore what Sexual Violence is all about through the presentation and the Case scenarios and we came to the conclusion that is we all have a role to play towards ending Sexual Violence. But however, this role can never be emphasized, so this year we will be having another session on Sexual Violence with focus on “Rape”- been one of the commonest means of sexual violence and yet underreported and with the Victim been judged as been the cause in some cases. We hope with this, using both life and case scenarios we will be able to come to terms that in no way should rape be justified and come up with realistic approaches on
how we can save a lot of people both Females and Males from been Victims. At the end of the Day, we need to know how far we have gone and how much you have enjoyed how we got there, hence we will be concluding the day with evaluation, which will be put into consideration for the next day.
DAY 2 After a quick recap of the previous day, we will move straight into one of the biggest part of our agenda for the sessions, which is the SCORA Debate‌
EQUAL GENDER WORLD vs. UNEQUAL GENDER WORLD Gender inequality showcases itself in our World in different forms such as not sending a female child to school, prohibiting Women from owing farmlands, paying a Woman lesser than her Male counterpart for the same task, discrimination of Women and so on. This in doubt has effect not just on the Woman but also on the socio economic development of the Community and even the whole Nation in general.
During the course of the Debate, Volunteers will take us through what our World will look like if Gender inequality is not allowed to exist and another group on what will be of World if room is given to Gender inequality. This should give us a deep insight into the issue of Gender inequality.
Inclusive framework towards ending AIDS The highest number of people living with HIV can be found in Sub Saharan Africa, showing why is an issue that must be addressed. Facilitating this session will be someone from among our Externals -National Office on HIV (Burkina Faso). To end HIV, everyone has to be involve, not just the Government or even those already diagnosed, all hands should be on deck to achieve this. We believe that already in SCORA and for instance that can be seen in our active campaigns for World AIDS Day, as we go about creating awareness of the disease and also showing support to those living with HIV. But however, is there need to create a more inclusive framework that will be more inclusive of certain age groups and populations more affected? What other role do we need to play part in actively to see that there is an end to HIV? Is attention given to young people living with HIV? ‌ all these will be answered by our Speaker and also we will be given a chance to ask any other that we may have, so as to ensure we all are on the right track as regarding ending AIDS.
Empowering Men to empower Women Right after the break, the Gender based Violence Program Coordinator-Elizabeth Peters, will be talk us through on how Men can be empowered to empower Women, and also the role they can play in bringing an end to Gender based Violence and inequality, so that we can have a 50:50 planet.
Integrated approach on STIs We will be focusing on the (b) part of one of our focus areas- “HIV/AIDS and other STIs”, we won't just be learning more about three out of the other STIs-“Hepatitis, Syphilis and Gonorrhea”, but also get to talk about people’s attitude as regarding presentation at the Hospital when having STIs symptoms, reasons why Stigma attached to people having STIs in general and how we can help to correct this so as to prevent further complication I those having STIs before care is seek for.
SMALL WORKING GROUPS The aim of the SWGs is to deliberate on what we can do on 3 important aspects of our Work; *Externals *Advocacy and Policy Statement *Members
Mapping out Externals Externals which may include NGOs or Government bodies that tackle issues relating to any of our focus areas are of great benefit to us as they play a role in terms of promotion of our works, giving financial aids, Trainings and Empowerment. During the course of this SWG, we will discuss extensively on why we may need to approach Externals, how to know who to approach, how they can be approach and tips on how to get favorable responses. Advocacy and Policy Writing Advocacy is one thing we do in IFMSA and it can never be overemphasized. The Small Working Group will discuss in depth the importance of Advocacy, know exactly what advocating entails and also get to know about Policy Statements (highlight the ones we have already as relating to the Standing Committee) and what they stand to serve.
Building SRHR Interest This group will explore how to recruit new Members, motivate present ones and in general talk about how to get Members of the public know about what we do and get their support.
DAY 3 After 2 awesome days of brainstorming and wonderful discussions, here comes the last and final day of the Sessions, this will start with a recap of the previous day a usual, after which the joint session starts. The joint sessions will be with the SCORPions and SCOPHians concurrently, hence everyone gets to decided one among the two they will love to attend;
KICKING OUT LASSA (with SCOPH) Lassa fever is one of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (examples of others being Ebola Fever, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever) which has been seen in Africa, most especially within West Africa. Though, in about 80% of cases, the disease is asymptomatic but annual death is still as high as 20,000. What is not so commonly known about this Virus is that it also has implication on Maternal Health as it can cause a devastating effect in pregnancy. Hence, along with the Orange Family, we plan to explore ‘Lassa Fever’ (giving an overview into other Hemorrhagic Fevers as well), its effect on Maternal Health and prevention.
GIRLS NOT BRIDES; ADDRESSING FORCED CHILD MARRIAGE (with SCORP) One of the vices faced by Girls as young as eight years old across the World is the issue of Early Child Marriage and sadly our Region inclusive. Though, several measures have been taken by both Governmental and Non Governmental Organizations to see that an end is brought to this, there still lies some work to do most especially in the emerging trend in which Young ones are abducted to be Brides without the Parents even been aware. We hope with this Session along with the SCORPions, we will be able to efficiently tackle this issue and come up with realistic and effective ways through which we can contribute our quota towards bringing an end to this bad act.
PARALLEL SESSIONS For this year, we will be focusing on two main topics;
Teenage Pregnancies in Africa; While discussing lots of send reproductive health matters, Teenage pregnancies have become become a challenge because of the social, cultural, economic and health impacts to the communities. Young girls before the age of 20 carrying babies has been looked at as “motherhood in childhood”. Lots of complications associated but mainly mortality cannot be underlooked. Save the Children found that, annually, 13 million children are born to women aged under 20 worldwide, more than 90% in developing countries. Not surprising though, Sub saharan African region tops in the highest levels of teenage pregnancies, out of 20 countries in the world leading in teenage pregnancies, 18 are African countries definitely with predisposing factors such as low socioeconomic status, cultural influence, lack of sexual education, school dropouts, early puberty, sexual abuse to mention but a few. During our sessions, we shall explore more on the factors predisposing to teenage pregnancies, “Why Africa” and the contribution we as medical students and future health workers can make to curb this down. Through the case scenarios and success stories, and discussion on what is being done in our countries. Can there be protective policies that can reduce the rates? What could be the contribution of comprehensive sexual education, access to contraceptives??
Ensuring Safe Motherhood Maternal health globally and at individual level has always been a focus area because of the impact it has if not handled in a proper manner, from the MDG era to now SDG era. Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. While motherhood is often a positive and fulfilling experience, for too many women it is associated with suffering, ill-health and even death. Regarding that, maternal mortality still remains a big health challenge, a total of 11–17% of maternal deaths occur during childbirth itself; 50–71% occur in the postpartum period. These periods account not only for the high burden of postpartum maternal deaths, but also for the associated large number of stillbirths and early newborn deaths. The factors mapped range from social, cultural, economic and health policies which when improved and advocated for will curb these deaths down, developing countries carry the biggest burden. Causes of mortality include but a few, haemorrhage, infection, high blood pressure, unsafe abortion, and obstructed labour. Much as challenges are more in developing countries, it is worse in conflict areas and Internally displaced persons, maternal health may be worsened by displacement, limited resources, inaccessibility of RH care, and destruction of health facilities in these areas. This needs to be emphasised since Africa an increasing rates of conflicts and number of IDPs.
During our sessions, we shall discuss about maternal health and safe motherhood with main emphasis on priorities for safe motherhood programs, and the extent to which our contribution and impact can reach as far as reducing mortality. Can there be small projects we can develop as medical students that can play a role, or share knowledge on existing projects in various countries At the end of it, SCORA Africa will he hailed for the contribution made in improving maternal health in all populations.
Peer Education Network The importance of “Peer Education” cannot be overemphasized within the Standing Committee due to the fact that some of the issues we work are topics people might have reasons to shy away from .But however, People tend to open up better and give sincere responses when within their Peer group. We have allocated this time to talk about what Peer Education is all about, so as to help us with our activities so we can have more impact and reach.
CONTRACEPTIVES FAIR We encourage you to please bring along with you the different Contraceptives you have within your Country. During our last moment together before we say our byes and give our hugs, we’ll be enlighten each other on them, their effectiveness, accessibilities and laws as regarding to their usage.
