  1. Integrating strategies to address gender-based violence and engage men and boys to advance gender equality through national HIV strategies and plans 16 – 19 September, 2013 Dakar, Senegal Bafana Khumalo & Nkonzo J. Khanyile

  2. Introduction & Background • The reports/score cards were developed by Sonke Gender Justice Network, on behalf of the MenEngage Africa Network, with the support of the (UNDP), (UNFPA) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) • It was developed to be used as an advocacy and programming tool, to strengthen a focus on engaging men for gender equality within national laws and policies • Provides an analysis of whether selected policies, laws and plans in the in the selected countries contain language relating to the proactive and progressive engagement of men and boys.

  3. Introduction & Background Cont. • It examines five key areas that are critical for gender equality, namely: • HIV and AIDS; • Gender-Based Violence (GBV); • Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR); • Parenting; and • LGBTI.

  4.  Aims to provide the following: • Importance of engaging men and boys in the elimination of GBV and • Offers an opportunity to address the gaps and priorities identified in existing laws and policies. • It can also be used to identify key areas and priorities for policy advocacy

  5. Who should use this report • Civil society, • Governments, • Law and policy-makers as well as • Decision makers working in the development of legislation

  6. In spite of 5-10 years of laws against GBV and prevention activities, rates still alarmingly high GBV Results from the International Men and Gender Equality Survey – ICRW and Promundo

  7. Regional Gaps • Policies very rarely address the need to target men to increase their uptake of testing and treatment services, or understand and then address attitudes to condom use, or become more involved in care work. • The need to engage men in GBV prevention efforts is not highlighted within HIV policies. • The needs of marginalised men are often referred to but the need for tailor made services are rarely addressed. Much more work is needed to address the needs of MSM, prisoners and LGBTI people within HIV, GBV and SRH policies. • A number of African countries need to criminalise marital rape, and decriminalise HIV transmission, abortion and homosexuality. • The need to address drivers of GBV such as gender norms and target men for gender norms transformation work is not adequately dealt with by most GBV policies.
