A men’s engagement conference seeking to address gender-based violence and promote a shift towards healthy masculinity is set to be held next week.
The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) will hold the conference in KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday.
The session will be held in collaboration with the men’s sector and other stakeholders to address gender-based violence (GBV) and promote collaborative solutions across communities.
“The conference, amongst others, seeks to facilitate an open and constructive dialogue on GBV and its root causes, promote a shift towards healthy masculinity, dismantle harmful cultural norms, promote men’s well-being, and protect human rights,” said the CGE in a statement.
The commission seeks to strengthen partnerships among stakeholders in the province to implement context-specific GBVF prevention strategies and generate actionable recommendations to inform future interventions and policy development.
Tuesday’s session at the Hilton Garden Inn in Umhlanga will get underway at 9 am. -SAnews.gov.za
