Countries:

Congo (Kinshasa)

This report presents the findings of a qualitative, time-series evaluation that assessed the impact on intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention of a pilot intervention program called Living Peace, which targeted the husbands of women who had experienced conflict-related rape and IPV in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The vast majority of the male respondents who had participated in Living Peace reported that the intervention had helped them adopt more equitable, nonviolent attitudes and behaviors and had positively impacted their intimate and family relationships; they also reported that they continued to observe these changes three years after the intervention.
