From: Changing gender norms: Transforming Masculinities

Transforming Masculinities is Tearfund’s evidence-based intervention to end sexual and gender-based violence and promote gender-equal societies

The Transforming Masculinities manual is designed to be interactive and self-reflective to enable participants to explore, discuss and reflect on their own attitudes, beliefs and behaviours regarding gender equality and sexual and gender-based violence. They can then lead others through the same process.

This manual provides a detailed activity guide for use in training, and includes guidelines to support the community dialogues the Gender Champions will lead and facilitate.

Gender Champions are men and women who volunteer within communities to lead and facilitate change with respect to gender norms, gender equality and the role of faith. A detailed guide, Community dialogues: Promoting respectful relationships and equitable communities, is available separately.
