On 29 May – 2 June 2017, 36 young men that are part of our Men for Gender Justice programme took part in a residential training exploring gender, patriarchy, masculinity and sexuality.

Through the programme, these men do crucial work in co-creating spaces in their communities that promote gender equality and support women to live without violence and work in non-traditional livelihoods.

Prominent gender equality and human rights activist, Kamla Bhasin, delivered a very interesting session as part of the programme of presentations, video screenings and discussion groups.

The training was supported by EMpower – The Emerging Markets Foundation Ltd, which invests in local organisations working to improve conditions in their communities.
