Reducing gender-based violence requires collective effort: political will, community leaders’ commitment, and religious reteaching. Men must hold each other accountable, promoting a cultural shift towards equity and non-violence. Men as protectors and preservers of life can play a pivotal role in reducing gender-based violence by promoting accountability, respect, and empathy. Through collective effort and cultural shift, men can champion women’s empowerment, challenge toxic norms, and foster a society that values and safeguards the dignity of all.
This new wind of change is championed by 31 Kings leading the charge amplified by Ford Foundation and Voice of Women Empowerment Foundation.
