“This is the first story I have written since I left school in the 1960’s!”

In July last year, myself, Ephraim Omulepu and Leo Wallentin organized a writing workshop with members in Men for Gender Equality Now (MEGEN Kenya). As the facilitators, we wanted to encourage the activists to reflect on and write down their personal experiences as men and women who are challenging the current gender norms in their local contexts, actively working to stop gender-based violence, and influencing others to change through campaigns, sensitization, one-on-one dialogue and outreach through drama.
