This fascinating brown bag, held on April 24, featured well-known GBV expert, Dr. Mary Ellsberg, who shared a video on the SASA program and a look at the preliminary results from the monitoring and evaluation of SASA. She noted that the preliminary figures show that it can be worthwhile to engage communities as a whole to encourage social norm change.

Dr. Ellsberg was followed by a presentation by Sara Siebert, Violence Against Women and Girls Program Director of Beyond Borders in Haiti, in which she discussed the adaptation of the SASA program in Haiti, emphasizing the importance of culturally appropriate language and visuals.
