This paper reports on our participatory multi-faceted community-wide intervention to change gender perceptions and encourage support for girls' education to improve their school attendance and performance. The intervention involved community and education stakeholders in implementing a context-specific multi-faceted intervention to improve opportunities for girls in 123 primary schools in the rural Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia. We implemented a repeated-measures quasi-experimental design in a sample of 30 schools (15 project and 15 control schools) to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness. Over 3 years we assessed gender perceptions of a cohort of 750 Grade 6 girls, their parents and teachers in project and control schools. In addition, participative group discussions were conducted with various stakeholders. In project schools, we recorded significant changes (e.g., provision of sanitary pads, counselling, tutorial classes and community involvement). Teachers and parents reported improved gender attitudes and support for girls' education; while girls' self-esteem scores and educational aspirations increased. The findings showed a change in community perceptions of the value of girls' education and some evidence of increased equality in gender perceptions. We concluded that these systemic changes marked the start of a long-term change process. This intervention showed the value of a participatory approach in a systemic community intervention.

改变埃塞俄比亚农村性别观念的大规模社区干预

本文报告了我们为改变性别观念和鼓励支持女童教育以提高她们的入学率和表现而进行的参与性多方面社区干预。干预措施涉及社区和教育利益相关者实施针对具体情况的多方面干预措施,以改善埃塞俄比亚沃莱塔地区 123 所小学的女童机会。我们在 30 所学校(15 所项目和 15 所对照学校)的样本中实施了重复测量准实验设计,以评估干预措施的有效性。3 年多来,我们评估了 750 名 6 年级女孩、她们的父母和老师在项目和控制学校的性别认知。此外,还与不同的利益相关者进行了参与式小组讨论。在项目学校,我们记录了重大变化(例如,提供卫生巾、咨询、辅导班和社区参与)。教师和家长报告说,性别态度和对女童教育的支持有所改善;而女孩的自尊分数和教育愿望提高了。调查结果表明,社区对女童教育价值的看法发生了变化,一些证据表明性别观念的平等程度有所提高。我们得出的结论是,这些系统性变化标志着长期变革过程的开始。这种干预显示了参与式方法在系统性社区干预中的价值。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。辅导班和社区参与)。教师和家长报告说,性别态度和对女童教育的支持有所改善;而女孩的自尊分数和教育愿望提高了。调查结果表明,社区对女童教育价值的看法发生了变化,一些证据表明性别观念的平等程度有所提高。我们得出的结论是,这些系统性变化标志着长期变革过程的开始。这种干预显示了参与式方法在系统性社区干预中的价值。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。辅导班和社区参与)。教师和家长报告说,性别态度和对女童教育的支持有所改善;而女孩的自尊分数和教育愿望提高了。调查结果表明,社区对女童教育价值的看法发生了变化,一些证据表明性别观念的平等程度有所提高。我们得出的结论是,这些系统性变化标志着长期变革过程的开始。这种干预显示了参与式方法在系统性社区干预中的价值。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。调查结果表明,社区对女童教育价值的看法发生了变化,一些证据表明性别观念的平等程度有所提高。我们得出的结论是,这些系统性变化标志着长期变革过程的开始。这种干预显示了参与式方法在系统性社区干预中的价值。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。调查结果表明,社区对女童教育价值的看法发生了变化,一些证据表明性别观念的平等程度有所提高。我们得出的结论是,这些系统性变化标志着长期变革过程的开始。这种干预显示了参与式方法在系统性社区干预中的价值。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。
