Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Choices
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is internationally recognised as a violation of human rights that is rooted in social norms including harmful gender norms. In countries where it is prevalent, FGM contributes to bottlenecks that curtail realisation of full potential by girls and women.

Breakthrough RESEARCH is conducting a mixed-methods study including baseline, midline, and endline surveys to assess differential changes over time in key health outcomes associated with the integrated social and behavior change (SBC) strategy and qualitative methods to explain how and why gender-related changes occurred or were associated with these changes. The goals of this study are to provide information to inform project implementation and to build the global evidence base related to multisectoral integrated SBC programming. These briefs present select baseline and midline findings among female and male respondents of reproductive age residing in three intervention sites—Hamzari (Maradi region) and …

Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Choices
Comprendre les déterminants comportementaux spécifiques et les obstacles à la recherche de services de santé reproductive et maternelle est essentiel dans l’élaboration des programmes de changement social et comportemental (CSC) pouvant mieux répondre aux besoins de la communauté. Les interventions CSC efficaces peuvent intégrer la segmentation du public, la pratique consistant à diviser un public en sous[1]groupes basés sur des facteurs démographiques, psychographiques et/ou comportementaux pour développer des approches CSC sur mesure qui sont les plus susceptibles de trouver écho parmi chaque sous-groupe du public. Ce dossier présente les résultats de l’étude des profils du public pour les femmes en …
