Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence Against Women

CHSJ initiated an action research project to mobilise and engage men and boys to address the issue of violence against women in 30 villages of three districts of Uttar Pradesh. This is part of a multi country project being supported through the UNIFEM Trust Fund and is being implemented in India in collaboration with SAHAYOG and the International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW), New Delhi and Instituto Promundo, Brazil. The goal of the project is to promote increased involvement of men and boys in promotion of gender equity and the reduction of violence against women and girls and to demonstrate that this change is possible through a combined process of mobilisation, capacity building, campaign and community action. The project envisages doing intensive engagements with men and boys in Pratapgarh and Jaunpur districts of UP.
