Gender Sensitization Campaign
ADECOM advocates that change must come from all sides when addressing Violence against Women. In 2016 ADECOM launched the Gender Sensitization Program, working with boys, as well as married and unmarried young men through workshops that raise awareness and promote empathy.
Through our village workshops boys and young men are educated on women’s safety and security measures, women’s rights and how to identify violence against women. Participating boys share household tasks with their mothers, such as sweeping, water retrieval, cooking, laundry and going to the market; increasing the responsibility of the boys and raising awareness in the household.
In 2017, 15 boys from the Vathaur village were moved to create a petition on the behalf of the village women for clean toilets, a proper road and a street light.
