Transforming Masculinities: Women's Economic Empowerment

Changing gender norms: Women’s economic empowerment is an adaptation of Transforming Masculinities – Tearfund’s faith-based approach to addressing sexual and gender-based violence. It includes all the core elements of the Transforming Masculinities programme, with an additional focus on women’s economic empowerment.

The Community Dialogues guide includes four additional weeks of guided discussions. These discussions explore gender inequality in economic decision making and the impact this has on individuals, families and communities.

The research report explores whether changes in social norms around gender-based violence can help to empower women economically and reduce the risk of discrimination against women who have their own income.
