Transforming Masculinities

By Matt York and Skhumbuzo Mlibeni

A growing number of innovative gender transformative programmes targeting men and boys have been developed across sub-Saharan Africa. One such initiative is the Khanyisa Programme in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa which utilises the concept of Ubuntu as a lens through which to explore subjects such as masculinity, inequality, gender, violence and HIV/AIDS. Focusing through transformative learning theory, this book explores how socio-cultural processes construct societal patterns of masculine domination and related individual masculine identities, and examines the use of gender transformative programmes towards the reconstruction of new, more equitable gender identities. A Khanyisa Programme resource pack is included for facilitators.
