Resource: Gender Relations

Description: Exploring relationships between male and females

Gender Relations

The exploration of gender relations and of gender-based violence are one of the core elements of the whole Stepping Stones training package. Below are some resources which discuss this aspect of the programme.

Stepping Stones was identified by Dr Geeta Rao Gupta in a plenary presentation at the International AIDS Conference in Durban, 2000, as one of "two excellent examples" of "transformative approaches...... that seek to transform gender roles and create more gender equitable relationships." Dr Rao Gupta explains how transformative approaches: "seek to foster constructive roles for men in sexual and reproductive health. The curricula for these programs use a wide range of activities—games, role plays, and group discussions—to facilitate an examination of gender and sexuality and its impact on male and female sexual health and relationships, as well as to reduce violence against women. What is novel about these programs is that they target men, particularly young men, and work with them and women to redefine gender norms and encourage healthy sexuality."
