Participants will include local and global NGOs\, representatives from the Irish Embassy in Malawi and Ministry of Gender\, speakers from the UN\, academics and religious figures. \nAcross the two days\, there symposium will host panels from topic experts\, presentations\, breakout sessions and grassroots testimonials. The hashtags and suggested copy below are for participants\, speakers\, organisations and the organisers to share across their social media channels before\, during\, and after the event.  \nKey Messages: \nKey Message 1: Gender-based violence (GBV) is a multisectoral issue. Effective GBV prevention\, mitigation and response requires a multisectoral\, whole-of-society approach that includes figures from religious institutions\, academia\, government\, NGOs\, CSOs and the media.  \nKey Message 2: Approaches to tackle GBV in Malawi should advocate for accountability frameworks in male engagement and incorporate the actions underlined in the Gender Equality Agenda and National Male Engagement Strategy. \nKey Message 3: It is important for stakeholders and organisations to include men and boys in GBV programming as effective male engagement can break patriarchal systems\, toxic masculinities\, and negative social norms.  \nEvent Hashtags \n #MICGBV \n#MenforGenderEquality \n#MENegage4GBVfreeMW \n#GBV
