• Gender Transformation Approaches

Gender Transformative Approaches aim "to reshape gender relations to be more gender-equitable, largely through approaches that free all people from the impact of destructive gender and sexual norms at all levels of the socio-ecological model” 

Such intervention is done by;

• Raising critical awareness about unhealthy, rigid and harmful gender norms and power relations 

• Questioning the costs to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by adhering to these harmful norms and power relations, for everyone on the gender spectrum (e.g. such a cost could be lack of access to health services for LGBTIQ due to stigma and harmful and heteronormative gender norms) 

• Address unhealthy, inequitable gender norms and unequal power relations, aiming for mutually redefined healthy and positive gender norms 


• Prevention+

Partnering with men to end Gender Based Violence (GBV) (referred to as Prevention +) has the overall goal to prevent and end GBV and protect women from harmful effects of physical, psychological and sexual violence. The longterm objective of Prevention+ is to contribute to a gender just society, free of GBV, by transforming harmful social norms by engaging (young) men. The project will intervene at the individual/relationship, community, civil society and government level to ensure that individual, social and cultural changes are backed up by a supportive legal and policy framework. Prevention+ is a 5year (2016-2020) program, implemented in Pakistan, Indonesia, Rwanda and Uganda in one or more MENA countries. Prevention+ consortium members are Rutgers, Promundo and Sonke, and MenEngage Global as a technical partner. The program will be carried out in collaboration with partners within the respective countries.

The core element of the study is the internationally recognized Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES), which has been conducted for the first time in all four provinces of Pakistan. Complementary elements include a qualitative study exploring parallel themes to IMAGES through focus group discussions and a literature review.
