Abstract

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programmes recognize that fundamental improvements in the lives of girls and young women require changes in the attitudes of boys and men that perpetuate gender and inequality and power imbalances. Studies suggest that interventions delivered according to the UNESCO standards increase awareness, and are able to change attitudes on gender equality and power structures, at least in the short run. Examples of promising programmes are given.
