Social Mobilization Activities for the “Good Men Contest”

Project period: June 2012 - May 2013

Funded by: Paz y Desarrollo

Target group: Young women ages 15-30

Target area: Kompong Cham, Prey Veng, Svay Reang, Takeo, Kompong Chhnang, Battambang, Banteay Mean Chey, and Siem Reap provinces

The “Good Men” contest, with the support of PYD, was intended to change men’s attitude toward gender equity in Cambodia. KYA conducted the “Good Men Contest” among men of various ages, career, and backgrounds in order for them to share their knowledge and understanding with the wider community, as well as to generally increase men’s participation in gender issues.

The project established a good-men community model through existing KYA CYNs in eight provinces in order to enhance understanding of gender issues and good practices to promote gender equality and respect women’s role in society.

The project also organized several activities such as an article writing contest, song/poem writing contest, drawing/art painting or performance contest, and the personal storytelling contest.

The eleven winners from the “Good Men Contest” were invited to speak on a radio talk show, television, and in various publications to further raise awareness to the public about the good men movement and gender equality, and also to become role models for other men in the community.

The project utilized NGO networks, youth groups, schools and universities, companies, factories, television, radio, award ceremonies and social media such as Facebook and the Internet.
