MenEngage Africa Training Initiative is calling for applications
Tanya Charles - Co-ordinator of MenEngage Africa Training Initiative
(MATI) for Sonke Gender Justice. We were talking about their call for
applications. Following
the highly successful pilot MATI course last year, Sonke Gender Justice Network in association with MenEngage Africa Network
and UCT’s Women’s Health Research Unit are proud to host their second course
entitled ‘Masculinities, Leadership and Gender Justice in
Sub-Saharan Africa’, to
be held from September 16th to 26th 2013 in Cape Town. This
year’s short, intensive, 10 day residential course seeks to expand the skills
and knowledge of women and men in the Sub-Saharan Africa region to scale up
work on engaging men and boys in gender equality, and build a network of
leaders and gender justice advocates. In so doing, it aims to strengthen
existing work on the greater involvement of men and boys in the prevention and
response to sexual and gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health
and rights, HIV and AIDS, fatherhood, LGBTI rights and other issues pertaining
to gender equality. The
course is intended for gender activists, programme staff and project managers
from women’s rights, children’s rights, sexual and reproductive health and
rights, HIV and AIDS, and LGBTI organisations, youth leaders, government
officials, UN Agency representatives, donors, academics and media advocates. Applications are to be submitted by
no later than May 31st 2013 and successful candidates will
be notified by no later than July 1st 2013 . For further information you can
