In Mali, where faith leaders wield significant influence over sociocultural and health matters, the decision of these leaders to speak publicly about ways to end gender-based violence (GBV) is a monumental step. Since committing in early 2020 to join HP+ and other stakeholders in advocating against GBV and promoting a national GBV law, these leaders—both Muslim and Christian, male and female—have formulated faith-specific talking points and are sharing them with their communities. Along with advocating for passage of the law, this public discussion is a critical step in combating GBV in Mali, where 4,617 incidents were recorded in 2019 alone.
