The project aims to address the GBSS (gender biased sex selection) through a completely new and distinctive strategy by focusing on the active engagement of youth/young adults in community based awareness raising interventions to confront the demand for sex selection through emphasis on the value of a girl child. This approach is unique given that it does not only help to avoid jeopardizing women’s right to choose abortion, but also aims to engage the future fathers as the main advocates for promoting the value of a girl child making the policy more sustainable. The men/fathers have regrettably been the driving forces for the enforcement of patriarchal value systems contributing to the perpetuation of the ideal of son preference in the society. Therefore, the project strives at having sustainable outcomes by proposing the unconventional approach of involving the young men/future fathers to challenge the value systems many advocate for due to cultural and societal influence.
