Program Introduction

The Gender Equity Program collaborates with women’s organizations to strengthen their gender equity strategies and advance systems change and policy advocacy. To promote gender transformative programming, it actively engages men and boys. The project trains peer and natural supports to identify, respond to, and refer domestic violence cases, while fostering transformative conversations with men and boys to promote healthier gender relations.
