UNFPA and Jaffna Social Action Center Spearhead Training for Government Officers to Tackle Harmful Gender Norms and Violence

UNFPA and the Jaffna Social Action Center partnered for an impactful training for government officers to address harmful gender norms and violence. Findings highlighted unequal household duties, stereotypical parenting roles, restrictions on women’s employment, belief in male-dominated societies, limited financial independence, and a tolerance for violence. These officers are set to conduct community-level training for 500 participants in December.
