How ‘We Men Club’ is reshaping boys’ attitudes in Nepal’s schools

In Nepal, a unique program called the 'We Men Club' is actively working to foster positive changes in the attitudes of schoolboys. This initiative is being implemented across various community and private schools in the Lalitpur and Kathmandu districts.

The club goes beyond traditional classroom learning by equipping young males with practical knowledge. Key areas of focus include understanding gender equality, cultivating respect for all individuals, grasping the concept of consent, raising awareness against violence, encouraging healthy emotional expression, and instilling a sense of social responsibility. These vital lessons are delivered through engaging methods such as dialogue, games, group activities, and the sharing of personal experiences.

Early feedback from participants suggests that the program is already making a tangible impact. The club's approach aims to create a generation of men who are more aware, respectful, and responsible members of society, challenging traditional norms and promoting healthier interpersonal dynamics.
