GENDER
Gender equality is vital to achieve inclusive and sustainable development. While empowering women and girls to exercise their rights and build resilience, Three Stones believes it is also critical to actively engage men and boys as allies and advocates to challenge and eliminate oppressive gender norms and practices, gender-based discrimination and gender-based violence.
Gender is a central, cross-cutting driver of our work enabling a more inclusive word and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
