PROGRAMME “Ra”

As winners of the First Womanity Foundation Award, which supports innovative programmes aiming to end violence against women and girls globally, ABAAD, in partnership with Promundo, organized the launching ceremony of Programme “Ra” in July 2016.

“Programme Ra” is a strategy and capacity building training manual on working with young men around issues like non-violence, SRHR, substance abuse, and gender equality.

It has been adapted from the Programme H manual, which was developed by Promundo in Brazil, and has been widely used globally within ending violence against women and girls programming.

Programme Ra was adapted by ABAAD for the Lebanese context and was successfully tested, translated, and validated by local experts, trainers, and young men from Lebanese and refugee communities.
