Gender norms associated with adolescent sexual behaviours in Uganda

This study used the Gender Equitable Men (GEM) scale to explore gender norms and sexual reproductive health behaviors among adolescent girls and boys ages 15 to 19 in Uganda. The findings indicate that adolescents were in agreement with the gender-inequitable norms explored. The girls and boys were also in agreement that it is a woman’s responsibility to avoid pregnancy and that women who carry condoms are “cheap.” These findings suggest the need for adolescent-targeted health education and champions of change among the stakeholders who create the environment where attitudes and worldviews are formed.

Evaluation of a male engagement intervention to transform gender norms and improve family planning and HIV service uptake in Kabale, Uganda

Evaluating men’s understanding of family planning and gender norms in Uganda revealed that, overall, the intervention did not achieve programmatically meaningful changes in gender attitudes among men, but it did show some improvements in men’s health-seeking behaviors. The authors suggest that future interventions require higher peer educator qualifications, longer intervention duration and more frequent supervision.
