KEY POINTS
· The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the risk of VAWG (violence against women and girls).
· The latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) data for India indicates that 29 per cent of the ever-married women reported experiencing spousal violence.
· Working with children during their formative years on gender equality, a time when their attitudes and behaviours are getting shaped, is an important way to address masculinity and rejection of violence.
· Life-skills education through school and community-based programmes that focus on equality, consent, respect and dignity is a critical aspect of this engagement.
· Ensuring gender sensitivity in tackling stereotypes through media, as well as increasingly involving men within the media industry is an important way forward.
· For example; a third of the winners of the 2021 Regional Laadli Media Awards for Gender Sensitivity and two-fifths of the winners of the 2021 National Laadli Media Awards.
· There is a strong need to engage men and redefine masculinity, across all sectors (including health, social services, law and order).
· The criticality of involving men and boys cannot be undermined. UNFPA works with strategic and like-minded partners on the issue of masculinity, to advance gender equality and end violence.
