Effective social norms approaches in FCAS contexts

This resource looks at available evidence on the effectiveness of social norms-focused approaches to tackling different forms of gender-based violence (GBV) in fragile and conflict-affected settings (FCAS). It recognises how social norms play a critical role in driving and shaping GBV, yet despite this, relatively little is known about how to measure social norm change in emergency settings. 

The resource looks at evidence relating to different approaches to social norms-focused interventions, including how interventions are designed. It also looks at examples of promising practice in different contexts.
