Description:
This project aims to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) in Jamaica against women, girls, boys and other disadvantaged groups. Wo-Man Talk (WE-Talk) contributes to the fulfillment of human rights, increased gender justice and gender equality, and improved lives for women and girls, disadvantaged groups, families and communities. Project activities include: (1) establishing in-depth participatory research to identify social norms perpetuating GBV in Jamaica. The findings will inform behaviour change and advocacy campaigns; (2) developing a map and national directories of referrals and support services for survivors of GBV; (3) providing interactive training with male influencers to promote positive masculinities, and working with boys and young men to develop and reinforce gender- equitable attitudes and behaviours; (4) strengthening women’s rights and other advocacy organizations with training and tools to use evidence-based practices, case studies and accountability systems as they conduct oversight to help prevent and improve responses to GBV cases; and (5) creating an Innovation Fund to competitively award micro-grants to small organizations to advance gender-transformative activities that can reduce and respond to GBV.
