December 9, 2020 The deep-set nature of gender norms explains why change is slow, and why it demands more than a few individuals changing their own attitudes and behaviour - change is needed across society. Gender norms are the implicit informal rules about appropriate behaviour for people of different genders that most people accept and follow. This report from Overseas Development Initiative (ODI) s Advancing Learning and Innovation on Gender Norms (ALiGN) platform examines how gender norms have changed in the 25 years since the United Nations (UN) s Beijing Platform for Action on women s rights was set out in 1995, and their role in progress and setbacks to achieving these rights. Drawing on global data and learning, it also explores what has supported and blocked changes to gender norms in a number of sectors, and how to ensure that change is faster and robust enough to resist backlash and crisis.
1.1 Historical background of development communication
Development Communication involves the strategic use of communication for alleviation of social problems evolving societies ( wilkins, 1996).
The term ‘development communication’ was coined in 1972 by Quebral, who defines the field as: ‘the art and science of human communication applied to the speedy transformation of a country and the mass of its people from poverty to a dynamic state of economic growth that makes possible greater social equality and the larger fulfilment of the human potential” (Quebral, Nora, 2001).

29 December 2020 -
The recently released partial data from the fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS 5) has revealed two counts on which the country has regressed. Child nutrition has become worse in the last five years, wiping off our gains of the previous 20 years, and in five states, over 30 per cent of women aged 18-49 years have experienced spousal violence.
The percentage of stunted, wasted and underweight children has grown in the majority of states. Rates of stunting have risen in rich states such as Kerala, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa and Himachal Pradesh, all of which had lowered their rates of stunting in the previous two decades. In case of spousal violence, Karnataka is the most concerning case; spousal violence in the state has doubled to 44.4 per cent, up from 20.9 per cent in NFHS 4 (2015-16). The other states where spousal violence continues to hover above 30 per cent are Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Bihar and Mizoram.
