Building Communities where Everyone Can Live Free from Violence.
Men and boys can help end gender-based violence by challenging harmful norms, modelling respect, and standing with survivors. They can embrace the stance that change starts with us and engage in activism.
Men and boys can play a crucial role by challenging harmful norms, modelling respect, and actively supporting survivors. Their actions—both small daily choices and larger community efforts—help shift culture toward equality and safety.
Men and boys can redefine masculinity to include empathy, emotional openness and respect whilst rejecting toxic ideas of dominance or entitlement.
Gender based violence is a societal crisis rooted in inequality and stereotypes.
Let’s teach boys that respect and consent prevent violence before it begins.
Let us pray
Prayers for Justice, Equality and Responsibility
God, we cry to you for justice for women and girls. Help us to dig out the roots of gender-based violence and discrimination. Inspire us to break down the structures that silence and disempower women.
Merciful God, bless those working with perpetrators of gender-based violence. Give them your resources to bring about lasting transformation of lives.
We pray that men will step in when they witness harmful behaviour, that they will encourage friends to speak out and show solidarity with those affected by gender-based violence. May it be so AMEN
