October 05, 2009

Padare, Dzivarasekwa 2 High School Club celebrated in style their third anniversary on Friday 2 October 2009. The celebrations started at 10 am till 3 pm and on this note we also wish to commend the school authorities who dedicated the day to commemorating the good work that Padare has been doing at the School.

Activities ranging from drama, poetry, speeches, and gymnastics dominated the day that saw students and staff participates in the celebrations.

Padare/Enkundleni, Men's Forum on Gender is operating in fifteen high schools around Harare where the main thrust is to encourage male involvement in the realization of a gender just society.

These clubs have been of great importance as quite a number of people have benefited and reports have indicated a greater number of people that have become sensitive to gender issues. This will help to reduce the number of abuses at schools, homes and as these youngsters mature into adults in their own homes.

Meanwhile under the same schools programme, Padare launched the report on the victimization the boy child faces titled, The Boy Child's Voice: A Dimension to Children's Rights, Sexual Abuse, Reproductive Health, Gender Based Violence And The Impact Of Hegemonic Masculinities On The Boy Child In Zimbabwe, at Holiday Inn Bulawayo.

This report was commissioned by Padare and save the Children Norway. This was a follow up to the Harare launch at Mukuvisi woodlands.
