Summary

This study tests a program called Communities Care, which aims to change social norms that allow violence against women and girls. Researchers will follow 3,500 adults and adolescents in Somalia over three years, comparing communities that receive the program to those that do not. The goal is to see if the program reduces experiences of violence and shifts harmful beliefs.
