Impact of self-efficacy, qualitatively associated with SC:

1. SC impacted positively on women's self-worth and sense of identity, in the context of rights-awareness, and "new" options.
2. SC empowered women to negotiate relationships and (safer) sex: "Women interviewed (speaking from different contexts and perspectives), report that Soul City 4 encouraged them to act on this (new) awareness of their rights, and enabled them to stand up for their rights in oppressive or abusive contexts, or in contexts traditionally associated with unequal gender power relations." (Summarised in Soul City 4 Evaluation Results – Integrated Summary Report.)
