PRESS RELEASE

Lafaek project uses its platforms to engage men in the prevention of gender-based violence

Dili, 25 April, 2023 – On 25 April 2023 CARE through the Lafaek project, is hosting an interview with the Chief Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice (Provedor dos Direitos Humanos e Justiça, abbreviated as PDJH in Portuguese), Mr. Virgilio Guterres.

The objective of the interview is to share the role of the PDHJ in raising awareness of human rights violations and handling the case of such abuses, which includes gender-based violence – one of the most pervasive human rights violations and a barrier to sustainable development outcomes. Mr. Virgilio will share his views and strategies for engaging men to addressing this issue.

This initiative builds on the Lafaek project’s goal of engaging men using the Lafaek platform to challenge ingrained and harmful gender norms that contribute to gender-based violence. The conversation with Mr. Virgilio will be published in the Lafaek Community magazine, which will be distributed from September to December this year. Through school and community distributions and a growing popularity on Facebook, the content is targeted to reach schoolchildren and men in communities across Timor-Leste to be aware of the impact of gender-based violence on women and girls and how men can actively advocate to address its root causes.
