Respectful parenting to prevent Gender-Based Violence (GBV)

Jun 7, 2022  [Tetun with English subtitle] A family is a place of love, happiness, support and the first place where children feel like they are a part of this world. However, the family can also limit these things to women and girls. This can result in women and girls experiencing violence and injustice in the first place. 

UN Women has collaborated with Alola Foundation and Mane ho Vizaun Foun (Men with New Vision) under the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative to roll out the Connect with Respect programme. The programme has helped parents foster values of gender equality in their families to cultivate a moral character based on equality between both men and women with the vision to make the society free of gender-based violence from the roots.
