Program M

---

Program M (M for Mulheres and Mujeres, the words for women in Portuguese and Spanish) seeks to promote the health and empowerment of young women through critical reflections about gender, rights and health. The program consists of educational workshops, community campaigns and innovative evaluation instruments for assessing the program’s impact on young women’s gender-related attitudes and perceived self-efficacy in interpersonal relationships.

Program M in the World

The Program M curriculum was originally field-tested in Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico and Nicaragua and has since been adapted for use in India and Tanzania.

Partnerships

Program M was developed by Promundo in partnership with Ecos (São Paulo), Instituto Papai (Recife), Salud e Género (Mexico) and World Education (USA), with the support of the Oak Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the Nike Foundation and the Brazilian Secretariat for Women’s Policies.
