Paragraph text

Working with both boys and girls is critical to overcome prejudice and preconceptions and support victims in seeking help and report incidences of violence. This is an area where incremental efforts are being made, including by engaging men and boys to change social norms of masculinity and encompass gender-equal relations free from violence, including more equal sharing of caregiving activities and domestic work within the household.
