Between January 2016 and December 2018, the Africa Alliance of YMCAs implemented the project “A Real Man Is” in Zambia and Kenya, with funding from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The final evaluation found that the project left women and girls feeling safer and better protected from violence, and increased the engagement of men and boys in initiatives aimed at protecting women from physical and sexual violence.

The project “Engaging Youth to End Violence against Women and Girls in Brazil and Democratic Republic of Congo”, implemented by Promundo in Brazil and their partner HEAL Africa in DRC, was funded from January 2015 to December 2017 by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. The project worked with adolescent girls and boys in schools, providing group education and counselling. The final evaluation found that the model developed to break the inter-generational transmission of violence was somewhat effective for addressing attitudes, behaviour and responses related to violence.

Between January 2015 and December 2016, the Mongolian Women’s Fund (MONES) implemented the “Securing State Investment to Prevent Gender-Based Violence in Schools” project, funded by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women.
