We hope that men will start to understand that they are the solution to end GBV. Men4Women has an opportunity to educate men about how their collective socialization results in a culture that devalues women, ultimately allowing many forms of violence and discrimination to persist.

Listening to survivors ,thinking of the consequences ,speaking on the importance to end GBV, supporting women and girls, men and boys and participating in activities to end GBV will greatly contribute towards Gender Equality.
