Mental Health, the Male Psyche and Gender Justice: Lessons for Life After COVID-19

SAfAIDS and Sonke Gender Justice invite you to this jointly hosted roundtable that is timely and worth focusing on. Addressing mental health boldly, in the narrative of transforming men and boys into protagonists for women’s and girl’s rights, needs visibility.
