NxtGenMen
Piloted in September 2022, NxtGenMen is a 6-session intervention aimed at reducing violence perpetrated by men - and, in particular, to reduce violence against women.
NxtGenMen seeks to help the men who attend the programme to have more self-awareness, question unhealthy gender norms and to have an improved skill set for relationship management and conflict resolution.
The programme seeks to empower men to become gamechangers in their communities, leading the drive against violence against women through their attitudes and their actions.
Redefining Masculinity
With a growing gender equality movement, it is possible that the next generation of young men in South Africa will grow up in a society where mutual respect, support and a shared sense of responsibility between partners is the norm?
School of Hard Knocks (SoHK) recognise the urgent need to address a pandemic of violence against women in South Africa. Project #NxtGenMen, supported by the Irish Embassy, will use the power of sport to deliver workshops to shift attitudes around traditional gender norms to improve relationship health and ultimately reduce harmful behaviours towards women.
