❓ Separate or joint discussions?

Sanjog Thakuri from @DajjuVai shares insights on #HowToTalkWithMen:

⚖️ Separate settings provide a comfortable space for men & boys to share freely. However, joint conversations are needed to advance our core purpose: gender equality.

Globally, in the Gender Justice discourse, everyone is talking about engaging men and boys, and there is a critical question: 'How?' @MenEngage has launched a fantastic campaign to document and share learnings of #HowToTalkWithMen. @DajjuVai is glad to be a part of it.

مهما كانت الظروف، وحتى في أصعب الأوقات، حماية النساء واجب لا يمكن تجاهله.
حملة أبعاد ” #إعتداء_ما_بغطي_إعتداء“ تؤكد أن حقّ النساء في الأمان دائمًا أولوية في كافة الأوقات.
