Key Information
In Haiti, GWI is supporting and assessing efforts to transform gender norms and contribute to a reduction of violence against women and girls (VAWG) and of sexual and reproductive health risk behaviors. The Rethinking Power program is a Haitian-based, phased community mobilization intervention that consists of two components: one that focuses on the whole community and one that focuses on girls. The program’s model was originally designed in Uganda by Raising Voices and is being adapted by Beyond Borders, a humanitarian organization based in Haiti. GWI will evaluate the implementation of the Rethinking Power program in the Southeast Department of Haiti using a mixed-methods approach, measuring the impact of the model on women and girls’ experiences of violence.
