WHAT IS POSITIVE MASCULINITY ?

Positive masculinity is an attitude that embodies traits such as empathy, integrity, and emotional intelligence. This embraces respect for self and others, fostering healthy relationships based on positive communication and understanding. It rejects toxic stereotypes and encourages openness, recognizing the power of expressing emotions and seeking support. In order to fight against gender based violence, RWAMREC is implementing several programs, including a JOT (Journey Of Transformation). This course of several weeks guides participants towards self-change through exercises, room for discussion and reflection. It allows individuals to encompass their authentic selves without conforming to restrictive norms, thereby promoting self-confidence and resilience. It also celebrates diversity and encourages men to be allies in promoting gender equality and social justice, thereby contributing to a more harmonious and equitable society.
