Refers to supporting parents and caregivers, front-line workers and girls and boys throughout the life course with resources and opportunities to address discriminatory gender dynamics within households and to create positive, nurturing households that are gender responsive. Such support includes building awareness and skills of parents and caregivers and training of front-line workers; encouraging male caregiving through community engagement and social and behavior change strategies; and ending gender-based violence and physical discipline to create nurturing household environments. At a broader level, it also includes strengthening engagement with governments and the private sector to influence parental policies, social protection programmes, service delivery systems, positive gender norms, and workplace polices that are gender responsive and family friendly.
