FOLLOWING International Men’s Day on Thursday and World Children’s Day yesterday, this is a reminder that we need to think about how we raise boys and men in a world of women empowerment and gender equality.

The movements for gender parity and women empowerment are taking centre stage at the global and national levels. Women leaders are being celebrated for being elected and for leading their countries effectively through the Covid-19 pandemic. Women are also taking a stronger stance through their recent pledges at the Beijing+25 forum (which marked the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the watershed Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 1995).
