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.

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.

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.
