wants to see more movements for social change emerging in communities, particularly to guide young boys away from being perpetrators of violence against women and girls.
The programme is set to deepen the work done over the past year with young men across South Africa to promote healthy relationships with masculinity and challenge the reality of femicide and violence against women and girls.“Young boys and children, like any other child, need guidance. If we leave them alone, we risk having these children going the wrong way and the many crimes that we see today are perpetrated by men.
“They are not able to do their homework on time, they cannot access their devices when they need to seek employment. All these things are stressful to young people.

The What About The Boys programme was first rolled out last year across high schools and reached 15 000 boys through multimedia content.
