Overview

This book highlights the role of traditional media in shaping public perceptions of gender-based violence and how digital media has revolutionised health communication.

Indigenous Communication Tools

It also discusses the potential of indigenous communication tools, such as folktales and oral traditions, to prevent gender-based violence in marginalised communities.

Partnerships and Community Engagement

The book highlights the need for partnerships between organisations, healthcare providers, and community leaders to enhance resource sharing and adapt to evolving community needs, and underscores how continuous monitoring and evaluation of these programmes are crucial for a successful fight against gender-based violence.

Recommendations

The book argues that evidence-based recommendations for improving health communication efforts and increasing awareness can help create a more secure and equitable society.
