Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices among Men in the Gaza Strip Related to SRHR and Child Rearing
There is growing evidence globally that initiatives to engage men in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and child-rearing can have positive behavioural and health outcomes for their partners and children. In Palestine, there is a dearth of research on men’s involvement in SRHR and child-rearing.
This study investigates knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) among Palestinian men and male youth on SRHR and child-rearing in order to inform future policies and programming. It builds on existing knowledge on the subject, and provides some insights into many unanswered questions around men’s and boys’ perspectives on SRHR.

Palestine Cash Voucher Assistance Case Study
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the risk of gender-based violence (GBV) for women and girls in Palestine.

Beneficiaries reported high satisfaction rates in the post-distribution monitoring. In Gaza, 97% of beneficiaries reported that the program had a positive impact on their psychological well-being.
