Learning From Our Mothers: Examining The Role Of Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer In Advancing Gender Equity Among Sri Lankan Youth, Ruvani Fonseka, Samantha Hurst

In Sri Lanka, public health practitioners focused on reducing the health disparities resulting from gender inequity need to better understand the processes by which gender-inequitable attitudes develop and how to prevent them. The goal of this research was to identify potential points of intervention at which appropriate programmes and policies could most effectively cultivate …
