I'm writing to share a new technical publication from Pathfinder International: Multisectoral Responses to Gender-based Violence in Mozambique: http://www.pathfinder.org/publications-tools/multisectoral-responses-to-GBV-in-Mozambique.html?utm_source=TechPub&utm_medium=otherlists&utm_campaign=GBVMozambique.

This technical brief explores Pathfinder's experience pioneering a multisectoral approach to primary and secondary prevention of GBV across two projects in Mozambique: (1) the "Enhancing Reproductive Rights to Reduce Violence against Women in Gaza Province" project (2010-2013), funded by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women; and (2) the "Enhancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women and Youth in Mozambique: Integrating Comprehensive GBV Services and Support and Safe Abortion Care in Inhambane and Gaza Provinces" project (2011-2013), funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy.

The projects' multisectoral approach included: a robust primary prevention component that engaged community organizations, activists, judges, and youth in reflection and dialogue to transform gender norms; a secondary prevention component that built on nascent national efforts to establish a multisectoral response to GBV (including establishment of the country's first one-stop center for GBV survivors); and a strong advocacy component. The technical brief highlights implementation experience, lessons learned, and next steps for Pathfinder's GBV programming in Mozambique.
