Use Communication to Promote Behavior Change
An awareness of gender offers a new way to understand the complex relationships between men and women that affect their reproductive health behavior. IEC campaigns can promote new gender roles for men. Also, programs can encourage couple communication and help to foster joint decision-making about reproductive health. In communicating with men, experience teaches the value of reaching out to men in the places where they gather and feel comfortable and thus are more receptive to new information.
