Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.
ComplementaryWomen and girls, men and boys at community level are mobilized in favour of respectful relationships, gender equality and safety in public spaces
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

Attitudes and behaviours related to women's and girl's rights to enjoy spaces free from VAW improved
In 2022, UN Women made significant progress in improving attitudes and behaviors related to women's and girls’ rights to enjoy spaces free from VAW. To increase the safety for women and girls including women living with disability in public spaces, UN Women in collaboration with the Association of Women Living with Disabilities (UNABU) and Youth Association for Human Rights Promotion and Development (AJPRODHO) secured a commitment to protecting women and girls, especially women street vendors and those living with disabilities who are the most vulnerable and most of the time marginalized. The commitment was from 115 local security structures such as Police, District Administration Security Support Organ (DASSO), Community night patrol (IRONDO) as well as 30 men pioneers, and youth volunteers. This commitment resulted from capacity enhancement sessions which helped the local security organs to improve their skills and knowledge in the prevention of and response to sexual harassment and GBV in urban public spaces, especially for women and girls with disability including their special security needs and protection. In addition, community awareness of the prevention of and response to sexual harassment and GBV in public spaces including women's and girls’ rights was improved using men engage approaches and men’s pioneers/advocates. This resulted from awareness and capacity enhancement sessions for 30 men composed of husbands of women living with disabilities and fathers of girls with disabilities on GBV prevention and response. These men committed to becoming champions of gender and GBV and formed a group of advocates to cascade the knowledge and awareness acquired. Subsequently, through these champions, community engagements were organized with the aim of preventing and responding to GBV at the community level which helped to increase awareness and secured positive behaviors from 769 people (362 Men and 407 women) during 16 days of activism.Disclaimer and notes
