A/HRC/10/43 E/CN.6/2009/10 systems. By working in close partnership with the All-China Women’s Federation, the Public Security Bureau and the Ministries of Health, Justice and Civil Affairs, the United Nations country team will encourage high-level political commitment to adopting national policy and legislation on domestic violence. The country team will also monitor and document the process as a basis for China’s further rollout of, and advocacy for, policy and legal reforms; (c) In Brazil, Chile, India and Rwanda, Instituto Promundo and partner organizations will embark on an innovative cross-regional initiative that will use rigorous evaluation to identify effective strategies for engaging men in stopping violence against women. Educational workshops and campaign activities tailored to requirements in each country will centre on deconstructing traditional notions of masculinity and manhood, promoting gender-equitable and non-violent alternatives and encouraging positive changes in attitudes and behaviours. By focusing on evaluation methods to assess actual changes in attitudes and behaviour, as reported by men and their partners, Promundo will compile valuable lessons and make a much needed contribution to the global knowledge base in this critical area. Evaluation results will be widely disseminated through the MenEngage Alliance, a network of more than 400 organizations. Instituto Promundo’s partners in the four regions include the International Center for Research on Women (India), Men’s Resources International (United States of America), Cultura Salud/EME (Chile), Sahayog (India), the Rwanda’s Men’s Resource Centre, Men Engage Network (Rwanda) and Men’s Resources International (Rwanda); (d) In Morocco, the National Institute for Solidarity with Women will expand its pioneering work in defending the rights and promoting the social reintegration of single mothers and young girls exploited as domestic labourers, in a context where both groups suffer exclusion and face multiple forms of violence. The organization will seek to improve legal protections for those two groups and reduce social stigma through advocacy campaigns. It will also work directly with single mothers and girls engaged in domestic work to support their social reintegration, through employment and training for the first group, and the return to school and family for the second. A model unit for the orientation and professional reinsertion of single mothers will be piloted at the organization and replicated in five other organizations working to end violence against women. Partnerships with private sector associations will help determine training needs and foster the notion of corporate social responsibility within the business community; (e) In Dar es Salaam, United Republic of Tanzania, Delhi, India; Rosario, Argentina, and Petrozavodsk, Russian Federation, Women in Cities International will respond to the challenges posed by the rapid pace and nature of urbanization taking place throughout the world. With crime and violence on the rise, women increasingly face the fear of sexual violence as a constant threat to their mobility and well-being. Building on existing knowledge and using a variety of tools, Women in Cities International will map the geography of public gender inequality and exclusion and its intersection with race, caste, religion and migrant status in four cities on four continents. It will also identify effective policies and programmes that work for greater equality. These will contribute to pilot interventions in partnership with Governments and non-governmental organizations, which seek to create cities that are inclusive and respect the right of all people to live, work and move around without fear and barriers; 08-66140 11
