Global Call to action for Men and Male leaders


Speak out Against Gender Based Violence In Kenya!

Add your Voice. Sign and Share this Pledge!

Today, Kenya is experiencing an unprecedented wave of sexual violence, directed at thousands of Kenyan women, girls, and a number of men and boys.

As men, we recognize that violence against women and the girl child affects men as well as women, those we care for, the family, you & me, the community and the nation.

Men and male leaders have an important role to play in stopping Gender-based violence, and acting as Role Models for other men.

Today, we join our voices to denounce gender-based violence in Kenya. We publicly commit ourselves to active solidarity with women and NGOs working to end ongoing gender-based violence in the conflict that has gripped Kenya.

As men, we call upon other men and male leaders to publicly speak out, and to join in this global call to:

a) protect Kenyan women and children,
b) demand that the government act to protect citizens against sexual assaults,
c) stop sexual attacks that are linked to police and armed militias.

As men, we affirm that Positive Masculinity is about you and me and what we do to bring about Positive Change in Humanity.

By signing this pledge form you commit yourself to be a role model for positive masculinity and to promote gender equality and equity beginning with your environment; family, work place and community.

Be Part of the Solution!

This petition pledge action is globally circulated and sent to Kenyan authorities and NGOs working on Gender-Based Violence. After adding your name, please send it back to fidelisca2000@yahoo.fr
