These are members of Father a Nation. This great initiative was established in 2016 to fight against gender-based violence in South Africa. The program has 15 members and 28 volunteers.
It provides men and boys with the skills they need to be good men, with the goal of reducing gender-based violence in South Africa.
This year, it aims to recruit 3500 men and boys aged 18+ from every corner of Alexandra township. Through conversations in churches, hostels, malls, households, and soccer fields, the members will also be able to reach out to many males.
Their objective is to have robust GBV discussions in numerous occasions to raise more awareness.
In such discussions, Alex men will be encouraged to open up and share their life stories because all men have a story to tell.
During a recent camp, 50 men were taught how to combat gender-based violence. They said they needed many ideas that would heal men, emphasizing that men were emotionally wounded, which is why some of them were doing bad things outside.
To join them, make sure you participate in their conversations that will be happening everywhere.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with them by calling 0812626387.
