Hi . Merciline Oyier. Joining following the recommendation on the whatsap wall form the Gender Transformative training. Looking forward to thought provoking discussions.
This is a very serious topic to tackle and talk about. This has taken shape in almost all countries in Africa and that includes Uganda of course. Men would feel that is belittling to them, showing weakness of a man just like Benedict has mentioned. In Uganda, the government has initiated a national helpline that is toll-free to report cases of child abuse and GBV but the most cases reported are still related to women and girls with a few cases of neglect against the boychild. More sensitization is still the way to go.
Hi Faith and Nicholas, how can I join the gender transformative programming course? Thanks.
Hello, I am Nicholas Okullu. I am joining this community through the link shared on WhatsApp Group: Gender Transformative Programming. I completed the training workshop and this is the right place to keep the conversation ongoing.
Cases of GBV among men are increasing. First we have to accept that men and boys are violated.
After accepting we have to look for mitigations and these includes; sensitizing the communities on GBV with a focus on how many are violated in different forms, calling men to speak up for themselves whenever they experience gbv and also sensitizing the community members on how to end stigma around men GBV.
Many men hesitate to speak up because they are being stigmatized by cultural norms that men are strong and they don’t have to report
The help of a boy child starts by identifying the needs and the gaps, and how to bridge the gap through a transformative approach. This will depend on each Country\'s set norms. The norms can therefore be aligned with what brings positive growth of a boy child. All stake holders should be brought on board while drafting such Interventions or policy alternatives.
