In its bid to promote gender equality and end gender-based violence in Nigeria, the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development in partnership with the New Initiative for Social Development (NISD) has launched a Male Feminist Network (MFN) that will act as partners in ending gender-based violence and other social vices.
The MFN, according to NISD, is poised to challenge harmful norms by training 1,000 males who will be leaders, professionals and grassroots influencers across all the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
The NSID said recognizing the role men can play in promoting gender equality and supporting feminist causes will make them allies in the movement for gender justice.
The NSID, which is a civil society organization, said the strategic awareness campaigns tend to fight for women and not to diminish masculinity or undermining men’s rights but rather to challenge patriarchal norms and work towards a more equitable world for all.
