Male Advocacy (VUT-0034)

The project seeks to contribute to the elimination of violence against women and children through collaboration with Vanuatu Women's Centre (VWC), government and community as well as religious leaders.  The project uses a strength-based approach by building and expanding on implementing partner Male Advocacy Approach, which engages men as allies in challenging violence against women and encourages men to take responsibility for violence against women. The project also has a strong focus on knowledge and learning and therefore include research that  supports the development of useful knowledge and its uptake into programme, policy and practice. As well as developing knowledge products for use by partners in the project, the project will also link the project to other work being implemented to end violence against women and children and collect best practice strategies in the Vanuatu context.
