This week, our voices were in the room at the Engaging Men and Boys Symposium (7-8 October 2026, Windhoek), where partners came together to build a shared agenda for gender equality and wellbeing in Namibia.
Elize Prins, Lifeline/Childline Namibia's Gender Manager & Acting Counselling Manager, shared experience from the field in the Practice Showcase on working with men and boys.
Uitani Childline Radio presenter, Elvis Masule, joined the panel "The Future We Want: From Reaching Men and Boys for Change." He expressed his experience with mental health as a boy child in Namibia.
Thank you to the Office of the First Spouse, DEN Foundation, UNFPA, Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, Namibia, Regain TRUST and the EU for creating space for this work. When we raise boys who feel seen, heard and supported, we build safer homes and stronger communities.
If you or someone you know needs someone to talk to, LifeLine/ChildLine Namibia is here. Call 116 (Childline) or 106 (Lifeline).
