UNFPA and the Jaffna Social Action Centre (JSAC) partnered for an impactful Training of Trainers in Kandy and Jaffna, targeting government officers to combat harmful gender norms and violence.

Survey findings spotlighted unequal household duties, stereotypical parenting roles, restrictions on women's employment, belief in male-dominated societies, limited financial independence, and a tolerance for violence.

The trained officers are set to conduct community-level training for 500 participants in December for a sustained impact.
