In 2009, Save the Children International Nepal developed the CHOICES intervention, which targeted very young adolescents (VYAs) with the goal of changing gender norms, attitudes, and behaviors and increasing support for more egalitarian relationships between boys and girls. Evaluation results indicated significant improvements for those participating, leading to the development of a further curriculum, PROMISES, which began implementation in 2011. In contract to CHOICES, PROMISES targeted the general community where CHOICES was implemented with the goal of influencing the broader environment. The positive impact of both programs led to the development of VOICES, an approach that uses the voices of mothers and fathers through testimonials to influence change in other parents in the community. Information on each of the pieces of this integrated program can be found through the links below.
