All of our programs work to break down gender norms and stereotypes.
What does this mean? It means we work to bring about change in the way communities view women and girls; in how men and women relate to one another; in how communities understand gender. Change that encourages people to challenge the gender stereotypes and inequalities that prevent them from realising their full potential.
Gender inequality may disproportionately affect women and girls, but it also directly impacts men and boys too.
And our commitment to girls is never to the exclusion of boys or men.
