| The Men’s Summit 2025 was a really inspiring gathering where we had open and honest conversations about positive masculinity, leadership, how men can be allies in the fight against Gender Based Violence, and what it truly means for men to be part of building a fairer society. Held under the theme “Men as Partners: Co-creating Equality and Ending Gender-Based Violence,” the summit brought together leaders, policymakers, civil society actors, young advocates, cultural influencers, and development partners, all coming together to explore ways men can step up as true partners in building safer and more equal communities. The conversations were deep and honest, focusing on how men’s voices and actions can drive real change, the role of intergenerational dialogue in reshaping masculinity, and what it takes for men to move from bystanders to active allies.Beyond the panels, there was art, spoken word, music, and storytelling that captured hope and healing. The summit ended on a powerful note, with reflections on how men’s perceptions and behaviors are already beginning to shift; a clear sign that progress is happening.The Men’s Summit 2025 reminded us that when men show up as partners, allies, and changemakers, everyone wins. |
