Boy Joy Summit 2024 : Empowering the Future
Over the past three days, we explored the challenges boys face and celebrated the joys of boyhood. From breaking societal stereotypes and fostering emotional intelligence to addressing barriers in education and technology, the summit highlighted the importance of creating safe and inclusive spaces for boys to thrive. Together, we discussed solutions for mental health, access to education and responsibility technology use. This journey has been about empowering boys to overcome limitations and build a brighter future.

As we mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Women and Children from November 25 to December 10, it is crucial to confront the harrowing reality of violence against children in South Africa.
Our country faces a devastating crisis, with child murder rates 4x times the global average. This stark statistic underscores the urgency of action to protecting children.
16 Days of Activism is more than an awareness campaign, it’s a call to address the systemic harm affecting children and women alike. We need to challenge harmful norms, support survivors, and advocate for stronger policies that safeguard children. Education, awareness, and community-driven efforts are vital to building safer environments for children and more equitable societies.
Let’s stand united against violence and work tirelessly toward a future where every child grows up in safety and dignity.
