Men Sector works hand in hand with the Kweneng District Gender Committee, Women Affairs Department disseminating positive messages specifically to men, about Gender issues and equality. We work with NGOs such as Tebelopele, BOCAIP and others to assist them in their accomplishing their missions. We work integrally with the Police Department where we develop and disseminate information about Gender inequality and Gender Violence issues. 2.2 HOW DOES THIS ACTIVITY CONTRIBUTE TO ACHIEVING THE 28 TARGETS OF THE SADC PROTOCOL ON GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT? PLEASE NAME THE RELEVANT TARGET. We help various community organisations to increase the percentage of women involved in decision making and affirmative actions. We help to implement gender sensitive educational policies and programmes addressing gender stereotypes in education and gender based violence. We strive to adopt integrated approaches, including institutional cross sector structures, with the aim of reducing current levels of gender based violence. 2.3 BRIEF BACKGROUND: WHY DID THE ACTIVITY COME ABOUT? WHAT PROBLEM OR CONTEXT IS IT RESPONDING TO? There is a significant issue of Gender inequality and HIV/AIDS in Botswana. 2.4 OBJECTIVES: WHAT DID THE PROCESS SET OUT TO DO? Men Sector was created to educate men about Gender issues and issues of HIV/AIDS. 2.5 TARGETS: WHO OR WHAT WAS TARGETED? The target is mainly focused on men in the Kweneng District. 2.6 PROCESS: WHAT WERE THE DIFFERENT STEPS/ ACTIVITIES IN THE 8 IMPLEMENTATION? Men Sector hosts and organises Workshops, Drama Competitions and fun Activities such as Donkey Races, Southern Africa 1000 Desert Race, Ministry of Health sponsored Mobile Community Mobilisation efforts. We also sponsor Pitso Ya Borre (Gathering of Men) to discuss and converse about Gender issues and HIV/AIDS ISSUES. 2.7 WHAT HAVE BEEN THE MAIN OUTPUTS? ATTACH ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTATION. We have reached many men and women in remote settlements as well as our local urban community with messages about Gender inequality and HIV/AIDS. Some of the men have been seen to have reformed from violent tendencies to a more civil attitude towards women.(See attached file Main Outputs.pdf) 2.8 WHAT HAVE BEEN THE MAIN OUTCOMES? PLEASE PROVIDE EVIDENCE SUCH AS FEEDBACK FROM BENEFICIARIES, TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE, QUOTES FROM EVALUATIONS. Men Sector works with the Molepolole Police Department and the Office of the District Commissioner to create Evaluation Reports that show trends related to the number of reported incidences of gender violence. 2.9 CHALLENGES: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS YOU HAVE HAD IN IMPLEMENTING THE PROJECT AND HOW HAVE YOU ADDRESSED THEM? 1. Attendance -It is difficult to get expected audience to participate. Men Sector uses Public Address Systems. Media and strategic meeting locations to help facilitate better attendance. 2. Remote Areas - Many remote villages do not have electricity or easy communication access. This make it difficult to advise them of upcoming meetings and to keep them informed. Men Sector utilises many vehicles to reach outlying areas. We utilise the existing local Village Development Committees and the local Village Chiefs to disseminate information. 2.10 LESSONS LEARNT: WHAT LESSONS DID YOU LEARN IN THIS PROCESS AND HOW WILL YOU APPLY THEM? We have learned that there are many people who are not aware that gender issues are important and they are willing to change their behaviour once we can educate them about these issues. 2.11 REPLICATION AND SUSTAINABILITY. CAN THIS PROCESS BE REPLICATED BY OTHERS, IN YOUR COUNTRY AND IN THE REGION? HOW WILL THE PROJECT CONTINUE BEYOND ITS CURRENT LIFESPAN? WHAT NEXT STEPS ARE REQUIRED? Men Sector has been around and active since 2008. Our organisation involves the Botswana Defence Force, the Police and many local NGOs making up thousands of participants. We anticipate this organisation is self-sustaining. 9 NAME OF INSTITUTION: Women against rape COUNTRY: Botswana SURNAME: Nguvauva NAME: Getrude E-MAIL: [email protected] SEX: Female DESIGNATION: Community Mobiliser PHONE – WORK: 6860865 ADDRESS: P o Box 799 Maun North West District WHICH ALLIANCE THEMATIC CLUSTER ARE YOU AFFILIATED TO?
