Training Care Groups on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Rural Niger

Training Care Groups on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Rural Niger

Category: Care Group
  • Description
  • Additional information

Description

Major gender inequalities exist in Niger; physical violence against women is ubiquitous. Training on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) was integrated into a pre-existing care group programme in rural Niger providing cascading training on infant and young child feeding and maternal and child health to 5,000 women and men. Statistically significant improvements were observed in attitudes towards physical violence, forced sexual intercourse and roles of wives in financial decision-making. Overall, pilot results demonstrate that SGBV messaging can be successfully integrated into Care Group (CG) interventions.

    About

    In collaboration with the CORE Group, Food for the Hungry and World Relief created this site to share information, presentations, tools, curricula, and results reports regarding Care Group programs.  A Care Group is a group of 10-15 volunteer, community-based health educators who regularly meet together with NGO project staff for training and supervision.
