We carried out two awareness-raising activities, one with students from a private university in the city. The second was an awareness-raising activity and talk with craftswomen (braiding, hairdressing, sewing), led by a colleague and me. We first showed a video made by the government during the 2023 campaign in which public figures denounced GBV and called on survivors to denounce the perpetrators, as the law protects victims. The participants then said what they understood from the video. We then explained what GBV is, the different forms it can take, the laws that punish it, how to prevent it and the remedies available in the event of aggression. The exchanges were very fruitful. I learned a lot from these activities. The girls involved were very happy with what they learned and were open to sharing their experiences. They understood that certain situations they had experienced or were still experiencing were akin to violence. They learned that there are laws to protect survivors and punish perpetrators in the event of aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the session, we handed out cards with toll-free numbers to contact in case of problems.

I worked as a Gender and Social Inclusion Advisor at CADID, a local NGO whose mission is to reduce poverty, fight hunger, promote sustainable agriculture, work for the well-being of all, and advocate for human rights—especially those of children and women—while placing particular emphasis on reducing gender inequalities. CADID’s vision is to contribute to building a world free from poverty, a more just and supportive society where men and women can fully exercise their rights and be treated fairly without discrimination.  My role was to help the organization develop and implement its gender strategy to integrate gender considerations into its operations, activities, and projects. This aimed to reduce inequalities between women and men and to defend women’s rights.  Working with vulnerable populations, particularly women, is essential to me given their crucial role and the precarious situations they often face. Women bear the heavy responsibility of raising and educating children. They are the pillars of their households. That is why helping them gain access to income-generating activities that allow them to meet their own needs and those of their children is a priority for me. Additionally, advocating for their rights, changing mindsets, and raising awareness about the violence they suffer is equally important.  It was only natural for me to commit as a volunteer cooperant in gender and social inclusion.  During my mandate, in addition to developing a gender equality, rights, and diversity strategy in collaboration with the partner organization, I worked on strengthening the capacities of the staff. The topics covered varied according to the needs of the host organization. However, I particularly appreciated two workshops I facilitated due to their significant impact on the participants: the workshop on positive masculinities and the awareness session – discussion with female artisans on gender-based violence.    Success Stories   Positive Masculinities and Changing Mindsets   As part of my mandate, I facilitated a participatory workshop on the theme of positive masculinities —an awareness-raising activity aimed at finding male champions, allies, and defenders of women’s rights to make the fight for gender equality more effective. This was a sensitive topic in the socio-cultural context of Benin. The activity was conducted with young academic interns and volunteers working at CADID.  To start, I projected an image of a father carrying his baby on his back. This provocative image sparked numerous reactions, both positive and negative, as it was shocking and far from what is considered “acceptable” in a patriarchal society like Benin’s. The debate was lively, with each participant sharing their opinion about such an act. This initial image helped break the ice and create an open atmosphere for discussion.  Next, I introduced two interactive activities:  “What Do You Think?”  and  “The Man’s Box”,  from the guide I Facilitate in My Community, developed by JUPREC and CECI.  These exercises encouraged reflection and meaningful discussions on gender roles, breaking stereotypes, and promoting positive masculinities.

I then gave my presentation on the subject.  Throughout the workshop, discussions were very interesting and enriching. The participants really liked the fact that the activities were interactive. We moved, we sang, but above all we talked. Real issues were discussed in relation to rigid social norms, prejudices and gender stereotypes in a friendly atmosph\",\"headline\":\"Gender: towards a change in mentality?\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002F_1200x630_crop_center-center_82_none\\\u002F20241209_125925-1.jpg?mtime=1741028400\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fle-genre-vers-un-changement-de-mentalite\",\"name\":\"Gender: towards a change in mentality?\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"#creator\"},\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fle-genre-vers-un-changement-de-mentalite\"},\"identity\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@id\":\"#identity\",\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressCountry\":\"Canada\",\"addressLocality\":\"Montréal\",\"addressRegion\":\"Québec\",\"postalCode\":\"H1Y3R8\",\"streetAddress\":\"3000, Omer-Lavallée\"},\"alternateName\":\"CECI\",\"description\":\"CECI is an international cooperation organization founded in 1958 that combats poverty and exclusion through sustainable development projects in Africa, Asia and the Americas.\",\"email\":\"info@ceci.ca\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"height\":\"260\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fpreprod.ceci.ca\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002FCECI_Logo-Main.png\",\"width\":\"207\"},\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"height\":\"600\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002F_600x600_fit_center-center_82_none\\\u002FCECI_Logo-Main.png?mtime=1710339706\",\"width\":\"478\"},\"name\":\"Center of Studies and International Cooperation\",\"telephone\":\"514 875 9911\"},\"creator\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@id\":\"#creator\",\"@type\":\"Organization\"},\"breadcrumbList\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"description\":\"Breadcrumbs list\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\",\"name\":\"Home\",\"position\":1},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\",\"name\":\"Inspiring stories from our volunteers\",\"position\":2},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fle-genre-vers-un-changement-de-mentalite\",\"name\":\"Gender: towards a change in mentality?\",\"position\":3}],\"name\":\"Breadcrumbs\"}}",[1506],{"titleElement":478,"linkElement":1507,"placeholderHeaderImage":1509,"ctaComponent":1526},{"ariaLabel":6,"customText":1508,"target":256,"url":93,"type":258},"Discover more news",[1510],{"url":1511,"width":1512,"height":1513,"legend":6,"title":1514,"alt":6,"caption":6,"generic":1515,"genericDesktop":1516,"genericTablet":1517,"genericMobile":1518,"genericWebp":1519,"genericDesktopWebp":1520,"genericTabletWebp":1521,"genericMobileWebp":1522,"focalPoint":1523},"https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg",1920,731,"Hero placeholder","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1920x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1440x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1024x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_750x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1920x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1440x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1024x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_750x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp",[1524,1525],0.4994,0.4786,[1527],{"surtitleElement":1528,"titleElement":1529,"children":1530},"Stay informed","Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to know!",[1531],{"linkElement":1532},{"ariaLabel":6,"customText":1533,"target":256,"url":287,"type":258},"Subscribe"]
