South African men’s groups push for behavioral change amid femicide crisis
In Johannesburg, a non-profit called Father A Nation is organizing men in informal settlements to confront violence against women. The initiative follows the discovery of 12 female bodies in Ekurhuleni, which has intensified national outrage. While President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced new safety measures, critics argue these are insufficient. The group focuses on teaching positive masculinity and holding men accountable for their actions, aiming to prevent future violence by changing male behavior at the community level.
