Taking gender equality and health equity work with men and boys to scale Sida Development Talk, Stockholm, September 16 th, 2013 Dean Peacock, Executive Director Sonke Gender Justice Network, Co-Chair MenEngage Alliance

Established in August 2006, with 90 staff working in South Africa, 20 African countries and across the world from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Gugulethu, Bushbuckridge and Pretoria. Sonke uses a mix of social change strategies—community education and mobilisation, legal and policy reform, mass media, networking, and organisational development—to achieve gender equality, address HIV and AIDS and promote human rights.

Building on and expanding from group education approaches Solid body of research showing that well designed group interventions can bring about important changes in men’s gender and health related practices. Most group interventions small scale, short-term and reach modest number of people. Achieving gender equality at societal level requires increasing scale, impact and sustainability of work at the local, national and global levels.

Taking gender equality work with men to scale: community mobilisation, communications and policy approaches

Mass Media:

Community Media: Radio, CTV, Murals, PhotoVoice and Digital Storytelling

Policy approaches

Increasing Scale, Sustainability and Impact: “Direct”/Civil Society approaches. Policy can be used to strengthen the capacity, reach sustainability of NGOs and CBOs working with men. Policy can be used by government to embed evidence based approaches into work of government departments: community health workers, social development outreach workers, local sports authorities. –Requires careful attention to training of expanded implementing staff to ensure quality and replicability.

Policy Approaches to Increasing Scale, Sustainability and Impact Policy approaches can focus on integrating gender transformative work with men into existing policy frameworks: –National AIDS plans –Comprehensive ban on corporal punishment –Provision of psychosocial support in schools for children exposed to violence –Laws and policies to reduce alcohol access and consumption: taxes, outlet density, drink driving –Gun policy: reducing and controlling access.

The SA NSP recognises that gender norms: ‘discourage men from accessing HIV, STI and TB services, contribute to violence against women, multiple partnerships and...encourage alcohol consumption’. In response it is proposed, ‘A comprehensive national social and behavioural change communication (SBCC) strategy must serve to increase demand and uptake of services, to promote positive norms and behaviours and to challenge those that place people at risk’ Challenge the gender norms that influence ‘delaying sexual debut; reducing multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships’. ‘These strategies must also address the gender norms that equate alcohol consumption with masculinity’. Importantly, it is noted that the roll-out of MMC should include gender sensitisation. (NSP, pp. 23, 39 & 41)

Defuse men’s resistance to gender laws and policies MAGE work on the three gender acts in Sierra Leone MASVAW’s work on the 2005 DVA in India Sonke’s work to educate men on the 2007 SOA and the Traditional Courts Bill.

Challenge laws and policies that undermine gender equality

Making Policies Work: Working with Women’s Rights Partners to Monitor Implementation and Promote Accountability Essential to support, monitor and hold government and private sector accountable for implementation of laws and policies. SAB Miller and Liquor Act Monitoring CGE, Judiciary, JICS and NSP Men’s advocacy visibility important Accountability work generates media and shifts norms.
