Reconstructing masculinity with boys and young men

GFC partner Asociación SERniña began its work to promote gender equality in Guatemala in 2014 with a series of leadership and education programs targeting girls. However, the organization soon realized the need to bring in boys and young men to achieve real gender justice. In addition to working with women, SERniña has broadened its efforts to support young men in learning positive mindsets and behaviors, nurture their ideas, and inspire them to become community leaders. Learn more about Asociación SERniña and how the organization promotes healthy masculinities in Guatemala.
