Abstract

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) continues to be a pervasive issue globally, and in Ethiopia, that harms women and challenges progress towards a more gender-equal society. Many interrelated social, economic, and cultural factors impact VAWG. Religion is a complex factor that can contribute to and act as a preventative measure against VAWG. Thus, faith-leaders have been identified as key actors in VAWG prevention. This study examines Ethiopian Evangelical faith-leaders transformative knowledge change following a Channels of Hope for Gender training intervention. Focus group discussions were conducted with faith-leaders from five different Evangelical Church groups. The results show that the faith-leaders' experience of the Channels of Hope training challenged their gender norms and allowed them to enact relationship and community-level changes. Additionally, they demonstrated efforts and interest in generating change at the level of the Church. However, barriers remained to fully addressing VAWG and implement gender transformative learning more widely. Thus, we conclude that the Channels for Hope training is useful in generating mindset changes and improving relationship-level interactions, but that it requires a longer implementation timeframe and further support from other structures and interventions to achieve sustainable change to prevent VAWG.

从埃塞俄比亚 Woliso 信仰领袖的性别变革干预中学习:定性研究。
暴力侵害妇女和女童行为(VAWG)仍然是全球和埃塞俄比亚普遍存在的问题,它伤害妇女,并对实现性别更加平等的社会提出挑战。许多相互关联的社会、经济和文化因素都会对暴力侵害妇女和女童行为产生影响。宗教是一个复杂的因素,既可以助长暴力侵害妇女行为,也可以作为一种预防措施。因此,宗教领袖被认为是预防暴力侵害妇女和女童行为的关键角色。本研究探讨了埃塞俄比亚福音派信仰领袖在接受 "性别平等希望通道 "培训干预后的知识转变情况。与来自五个不同福音教会团体的信仰领袖进行了焦点小组讨论。结果表明,信仰领袖们在 "希望之光 "培训中的经历对他们的性别规范提出了挑战,使他们能够在人际关系和社区层面做出改变。此外,他们还表现出了在教会层面进行变革的努力和兴趣。然而,在全面解决暴力侵害妇女和女童问题以及更广泛地实施性别变革学习方面,仍然存在障碍。因此,我们得出的结论是,"希望之光 "培训有助于促进思想转变和改善关系层面的互动,但它需要更长的实施时间以及其他机构和干预措施的进一步支持,才能实现可持续的变革,防止暴力侵害妇女和女童行为。
