Two Sides of Gender: Sex, Power, and Adolescence

jcrdescription

Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa have some of the highest rates of intimate partner violence across the globe. The speaker will discuss findings from a randomized controlled trial that offered females a goal setting activity to improve their sexual and reproductive health outcomes, and offered their male partners a soccer intervention, which educates and inspires young men to make better sexual and reproductive health choices. Both interventions reduced female reports of intimate partner violence. Impacts were larger among females who were already sexually active at baseline. She will also discuss a game theory model she developed to understand the mechanisms at play. In line with the model, the soccer intervention improved male attitudes around violence, sexual, and reproductive health and reduced sexual activity. In the goal setting arm, females took more control of their sexual and reproductive health by exiting violent relationships. Females in this arm had higher quality partners at endline.
