New for 2022 - Project NextGenMen

Written By Scott Sloan

SOHK recognise the urgent need to address a pandemic of violence against women (VAW) in South Africa. We believe that working with men and adolescents is a critical part of violence prevention as men are the primary perpetrators of VAW, and that SOHK and Fives are in a unique position to pioneer an approach that involves challenging traditional notions of masculinity through sport.

#NextGenMen’s first adult pilot project was delivered in 2021 where we achieved the following results:

  • 44% showed a change in attitude supportive of diversity.

  • 33% showed a change in attitude supportive of consent.

  • 22% showed a change in attitude supportive of men’s ability to do care work

  • 25% showed increased knowledge of laws in South africa making VAW ILLEGAL.
