Grant Received: Arts-based approaches to promote Gender Based Violence (GBV)-related gender norm change

The IHRAM received a implementation/research grant of £55,000 from ALIGN (Advancing Learning and Innovation on Gender Norms - a subsidiary of ODI) to implement a project in the Rohingya Displaced Persons Camp (Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh) to explore how effectively can art promote GBV-related gender norm change. I will be traveling to Bangladesh for a couple weeks this summer to implement arts programming around GBV and gender norms, and then participating in the research aspect. I also intend to gather information to write a manifesto/handbook about how best to implement this kind of arts-programming around GBV and gender norm change in high stress social and political situations. More soon!
