This manual is intended to be a resource for those working with men and boys on issues of citizenship, human rights, gender, health, sexuality and violence. The content of the activities are informed by a commitment to social justice, gender equality and engaged citizen activism. Each activity is interactive and gives people an opportunity to reflect on their own values and experiences. The activities are simple to use and don’t require lots of prior facilitation experience.
