Through the New Visions program, CEDPA/Egypt has reached more than 17,000 boys over the past decade to increase literacy, build basic life skills, improve knowledge of reproductive health, and promote gender sensitivity so that boys gain communications skills and become more equal partners in family life. “Promoting Gender Sensitivity among Boys in Egypt” shows how the education program significantly improved boys’ knowledge about family planning and HIV/AIDS and demonstrates how boys developed better stress coping mechanisms and improved environmental-friendly behaviors.
