The CFPA is rolling out a Winning Narratives (advocacy) initiative, which aims to enhance critical understanding of, and responses to GBV by focusing on men and boys, who often enter into the narrative of GBV primarily as perpetrators. We believe that men and boys have a positive role to play in ending GBV and transforming oppressive notions of gender that continue to plague our societies.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2928402895\"
