Transforming Masculinities: A Faith-Based Approach to GBV Prevention

Posted on October 4, 2017

Presentation Summary: This presentation is an in-depth look at Tearfund’s Transforming Masculinities model and the impact of faith-based interventions on engaging men for the prevention of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Transforming Masculinities uses scripture-based reflections and continuous coaching from faith leaders to help communities integrate and adapt strategies for GBV prevention and gender equity. The model has now been scaled-up in 8 countries across the world from Sub-Saharan Africa to Southeast Asia.
