Project summary
In India, gender discrimination and related violence cause serious health, wellbeing and development challenges affecting girls and women–particularly in deprived communities. Work to address these problems in communities are a key aim of local, regional and national health and social agencies in India. To address these challenges, the team at the University of Hull is partnering with three institutes in India who are working to improve gender equality and tackle gender related violence through community based projects. The UK team will help the Indian partners to design projects to involve young boys and girls in gender equality practices. Further, an evaluation of the on-going ‘responsible couples’ project will allow them to develop a national level initiative to reduce violence against women/girls. The project will also develop the research skills of local health staff, and help them design a future research and development projects to improve gender equality in India.
