It summarises the three-day workshop on "Strengthening partnership with men and boys to promote gender equality and end violence against girls and boys", where participants from the region met and shared practical experiences of and theoretical insights into working with men and boys on issues of masculinities that promote gender equality and non-violence towards children and women. The workshop also developed strategies and concrete action plans for increasing partnership with men and boys to address violence against girls and boys and for promoting gender equality from a child-rights based approach.
