This was part of our 16days campaign in 2019 but we thought it was worth sharing on FathersDay. dontlookaway
This year the focus of Independent Media's annual #dontlookaway campaign during the 16 days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children is #talk2yourboys. The goal is to focus on the male youth, educate and teach boys to become better men and in so doing, break the cycle of gender-based violence. Today we are talking to fathers.
Do they truly consider whether they are, perhaps unknowingly, entrenching stereotypes around gender roles that subtly lay the foundation of future gender bias, even toxic masculinity, or possibly an adult that will be prone to gender-based violence. I pledge to teach you to honour and respect women in every way, and where I fall short in anything I do or have done, I promise to learn with you and from you.
