Training on Gender Equality and Positive Masculinities at R.C.S headquarter

Introduction

Gender equality and positive masculinity helps family relationships thrive. When men and women are treated as equals within the household, it creates a more balanced and harmonious environment. Both partners can contribute to the decision-making process and share responsibilities, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Moreover, children growing up in households that promote gender equality and positive masculinity are exposed to healthier role models, which can help break the cycle of gender-based violence and discrimination. Ultimately, achieving gender equality and promoting positive masculinity benefits not only individuals but society as a whole.

Benefits of this training

Training women about gender equality and positive masculinities is crucial to promoting a more equitable society. By providing women with the knowledge and skills to challenge traditional gender norms and advocate for their rights, they can become empowered agents of change. Additionally, educating men on positive masculinities helps redefine masculinity in a way that promotes equality, respect, and non-violence. These trainings contribute to building a more inclusive and just society where gender equality is not only a goal but a reality.
