"He has changed a lot."
In Nepal, 31.5% of women report emotional, physical, or sexual violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Despite evidence to suggest that patriarchal social norms underpin intimate partner violence (IPV), very few interventions in Nepal have tested whether changing social norms to promote gender equity reduces levels of IPV.
Change Starts at Home was created to address this. Focused on an innovative radio program, an interactive voice response (IVR) platform and weekly group meetings, the intervention used media and peer to peer support to address social norms, attitudes, and behaviors that perpetuate women and girls’ low status in Nepal.
In this video, Couple Asharam and Bikani share their experiences with the comprehensive violence prevention curriculum – the B.I.G Change Curriculum, which can be accessed via WhatWorks: https://www.whatworks.co.za/.../494-big-change-curriculum

💡Did you know that Gender-Based Violence is preventable? EAI's Gender Transformative Training in Nairobi equipped our Equal Access International - East Africa team and Soomaaliya project partners from SW and JL State in Somalia with knowledge and tools to help them design programs and interventions that are not only responsive to gender dynamics, but actively seek to challenge and reshape negative gender stereotypes.

Despite Somalia's challenging cultural and security context, EAI remains committed to gender equity in all of its interventions, ensuring inclusion principles and recognizing the importance of gender dynamics in promoting peacebuilding initiatives in fragile security contexts.

📻 A Radio Roundtable focusing on Gender-Based Violence was on broadcast local FM Asia Plus radio stations throughout Tajikistan through the Refugees Awareness for Peaceful Integration and Tolerance program. Ms. Nigina Mamadjonova, a psychologist and gender activist, and Ms. Hanifa Sultonova, the director of the Council of Women of Afghan Immigrants in Tajikistan, recently joined popular Asia Plus Radio host Subhon Jalilov.

Together, their discussion raised awareness about violence encountered by Afghan refugees and Tajik women and discussed structures and mechanisms in Tajikistan for addressing such instances of violence. The radio guests discussed forms of GBV prevalent among Afghan refugees in Tajikistan, and stressed the importance of legal literacy to empower individuals to recognize and address domestic violence effectively.

The speakers framed the conversation within the cultural context of Tajik society, where the upbringing and happiness of children are seen as central to familial success, by explaining that the prevalence of domestic violence contradicts these values and can severely affect children's well-being.
