To commemorate the Sixteen Days FEMNET, in partnership with UNIFEM, GTZ and Ford Foundation, initiated the men against gender based violence programme which aims at mobilising African men to support the gender equality movement, specifically focusing on their interest in the eradication of gender based violence. FEMNET organised a regional consultation in Nairobi, involving men from Kenya, Malawi, Namibia and South Africa.
