Gender Based Violence destroys the peacefulness of families and psychologically affects both women and children.
Engaging men to prevent violence can help to restore those relationships for a better future.

eliminated, the attitudes of men need to change. Shifting these behaviours is hard and slow, but gender equality means all of us, and working with all genders is the only way to see true change.
