We need to balance our conversation on masculinity and encourage positive masculinity and lets empower men as well to be able to coexist with empowered women. ~Mono Mukundu @UrgentAct @SAfAIDS @SwedeninZW @WagZimbabwe @rhrn_youthsrhr @CafeSRHR @hivosrosa @BromanAngelica

@ObedienceMazen2 Speaks! In Zimbabwe, about 1 in 3 women aged 15 to 49 have experienced physical violence. While GBV hurts girls, women, and sexual minorities first, it also has ripple effects on families and communities, socially and economically. @SAfAIDS @WagZimbabwe @CafeSRH

Any solution involving boys & men should aim to improve the life of girls & women, & it should be inclusive of diversity among men in terms of culture, religion, social standing sexual orientation, gender identity, & masculinity. #MensConference2022 #OrangeTheWorld @SwedeninZW

Interventions to address gender inequality, harmful gender norms and gender-based violence are critical enablers for an equal society.lets craft solutions to address these harmful practices which affect both males and females #EarlyAction @openmapping_esa @OpenParlyZw @SAfAIDS

The girl child is in pain, but she is not hurting herself. There is need to have programs that teach boys and men how to relate to women. The narrative to protect the girl child has been going for long but the target should change to teach the boy child. ~ Hon Ndlovu @enkudheni

Biblically all people male/female were created as equals & after resurrection the veil was torn apart that every one whether male or female would approach of the throne of God as equals. Dr @ShingiMunyeza #MensConference2022 @UrgentAct @WagZimbabwe @menengagezim @SRHRAfricatrust

We should not tokenise gender equality! Authority, identify, privilege should be mainstreamed! We should not do it at the expense of masculinity or femininity! #Mensconference2022 @SAfAIDS @SRHRAfricatrust @MenEngageAfrica @SheDecidesZim @SwedeninZW @WagZimbabwe #EndSGBV
