The Youth Café And African Boy Child Forum
At The Youth Café, we try to dive deeper and strive to understand the more nuanced image of the dynamics of masculinity’s social construct as we hear the conflicting accounts of experiences from young boys and men. We try to empower young people, inclusive of all genders and seek to comprehend the complex societal pressures and circumstances that young men face as they strive to build masculine identities. We aim to develop strategies that seek to motivate young men to cultivate non-violent, non-abusive, less dangerous versions of masculinity in favor of more life enhancing ideas to benefit Africa as a whole.
