22nd May 2020, Bern, Switzerland.

Medicus Mundi Switzerland (MMS) in collaboration with the International Association for Maternal and Neonatal Health (IAMANEH) Switzerland organises a 1-day workshop on how to apply gender-transformative work in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) projects and programs with a special focus on gender-based violence (GBV). The aim of the workshop is to convey to participants a clear understanding of what gender-transformative work means, how gender-transformative approaches can be applied in a specific context (Western Balkans and West Africa) and what kind of tools for self-reflection processes are available.

Gender transformative work seeks to transform gender relations to promote equality through critical reflections and questioning of individual practices, institutional dynamics and broader social norms that create and reinforce gender inequalities and vulnerabilities for men and women.
