About SAWEERA
Through this 24-month project, Malton Women Council will scale a promising practice for engaging South Asian men and boys as allies to prevent GBV, and to strengthen the GBV sector. We will scale this promising practice to improve and adapt the already successfully piloted model, to reach additional communities in Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon. The project will address the need for culturally responsive and trauma informed approaches to engage men and boys as allies within South Asian communities in the Peel region.
SAWEERA Objectives:
The project will include:
- engagement of community members to identify specific needs within the reached communities.
- adaptation of the original adopted model to reflect the needs of the additional communities to be reached.
- mobilization and capacity building of South Asian men and boys as allies in additional communities in Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon, to prevent and address GBV, while combating harmful gender norms.
- development of a social media campaign aimed at challenging gender norms and promoting healthy models of masculinity.
- development and dissemination of educational resources for engaging men and boys as allies to combat GBV within the reached communities.
evaluation of the results of the adapted model implemented.
