<p>Dear Ranjani,</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing, the virtues of using the men as the advocates in driving empowerment is key as it looks at men and boys as the empowering agents rather than the saviours thus building independence rather than dependence in women and girls. Often program will only consider this approach as a small part of their program rather than including boys and men through out the process. As rightly mentioned by Jeanette, the approach should be uniform in program…</p>

<p>Dear Ranjani,</p>
<p>Thank you for this post, very important points! A question that comes to my mind however is if it is possible to apply them in evaluations when so often in the planning of projects or programs this approach is not taken up. How can we measure the transformation of norms for example, if the program didn’t intend to change them? This is a difficulty I have faced in my work.</p>

<p>I have seen startling results in terms on gender and inequity but its hard to explain in words the Constellation's SALT approach. the material is available for free online and one can get trained online in a triad. SALT also builds very good facilitation skills.</p> Dear Rituu

<p>Dear Rituu</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing. </p>
<p>Gender roles can be redefined in a instrumental and contingent way, in the best interest of the child and when mothers are sick the fathers take the child for immunisation, or in a transformative way- women too work but unpaid work or paid less. They contribute (economically) equally to family, and hence it is important that men share child care and health responsibilities.</p>
