A study on behavioral changes in male chauvinism will be conducted under the project, providing a basis for amending the Law on Gender Equality, the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control and other policies. 

Standards for gender-based violence prevention will be built alongside various communication campaigns on policy advocacy and behavioral changes together with models involving male farmers to stave off domestic violence. 

Scientific evidence will also be gathered to build a bill featuring prostitution issues. Capacity in building and implementing policies on gender equality, domestic violence prevention and control and prostitution issues will also be enhanced through the project. 

The MoLISA is expected to build an appropriate management mechanism for the project and identify the responsibilities of agencies, project owners and coordinating organizations to ensure its effectiveness.
