As a man working in the field gender equality, Women’s empowerment and GBV prevention, I want learn from people with different experiences on how to apply different approaches and models to end VAW and VAG especially with male participations
Hello everyone,
Am Ephrem MUDENGE, and I live in Kigali/Rwanda.
I work for Women for Women Rwanda as MenEngage program Coordinator.
Am excited to learn from you all!Based on the context Women for Women Rwanda works in, violence prevention strategies that are/can be promising are:
* Economic and Social empowerment* Couples programs
* Parenting programs
* Community mobilization
*Addressing harmful alcohol and other substances abuse
* Media and Edutainment
The activity about community involvement to prevent violence is placed in Universal prevention since it engages the whole community and different actors from the community. In addition, providing quality services to violence survivors can be placed in Response as it addresses needs of survivors and requires to involve different institutions.
Prevention in Mercy’s story compares the death due to diarrhea epidemy despite the usage of local treatment and VAW persistence in a given society. Since Scientist researchers have opted to develop prevention measures, the mortality rate due to diarrhea decreased remarkably. from Mercy’s story we can deduct that once we develop measures and strategies to prevent VAW, its prevalence and severity will decrease for the future.
