Pocket Card

This pocket card, created with input from the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC) Men’s and Women’s Sectors, is designed to build support for a gender-integrated microbicides roll out among both community members and policy makers.

Website

This website contains dozens of valuable resources on gender and health, including publications and reports, news, programmatic tools, and training materials. Materials under the “training” tab include training materials on gender integration, gender-based violence, men’s engagement, sexuality and HIV, and safe motherhood.

Brief

This brief summarizes recommendations for reducing gender-related barriers to microbicide access and use, based on analyses in Kenya and South Africa.

Report

This report describes the challenges children in Guyana face such as poverty, violence, and lack of support from family and teachers. Civil society organizations (CSOs) continue to advocate for the rights of all children and youth, and often provide refuge, in lieu of state protection, for children facing abuse, even with their very limited resources. But in some instances, CSOs are not well equipped to deal with sexuality and gender issues affecting children.

Toolkit

This Toolkit was created to engage adolescents and adults to transform gender and reproductive health outcomes by learning about their bodies, reproductive health, gender-based violence, and gender roles and act to support changes in the home and community for adolescents. It includes Flipbooks, Activity Cards, a Radio Discussion Guide, and a Community Game.

Report

This report is an end-of-project evaluation of the Flexible Family Planning, Reproductive Health and Gender-based Violence Services for Transitions Situations Project to document project performance, impact, and lessons learned.

Journal Article

Publication

This publication offers guidance on how research and programs can systematically identify and challenge gender-based inequalities that pose barriers to development.

Strategy

The purpose of the strategy is to establish a government-wide approach that identifies, coordinates, integrates, and leverages current efforts and resources. The strategy provides Federal agencies with a set of concrete goals and actions to be implemented and monitored over the course of the next three years with an evaluation of progress midway through this period. At the end of the three-year time frame, the agencies will evaluate the progress made and chart a course forward.

Policy

The goal of this policy is to improve the lives of people around the world by advancing equality between females and males, and empowering women and girls to participate fully in and benefit from the development of their societies. It will be addressed through integration of gender equality and female empowerment throughout the Agency’s Program Cycle and related processes: in strategic planning, project design and implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. This integrated approach positions the Agency to address gender gaps and the constraints that hold women back.
