MANifest Change is a groundbreaking program designed to empower male-identifying youth, fostering the development of healthier and more positive identities.
Through a series of interactive workshops, discussions, and activities, participants will delve into critical topics such as power dynamics, patriarchy, intersectionality, and their relationship to gender-based violence (GBV).
Our program is dedicated to preventing GBV, supporting survivors, facilitating healing, and seeking justice through collaborative solutions.
