WEST SC 1.7 | What should boys and men do who feel frustrated and pressured by expectations to become a successful provider?
Background
In a previous poll, this program found that Gender Based Violence is often a result of frustration by men because of poverty. Traditionally, men are regarded as the breadwinners and providers for their households. They are expected to have a stable income, be respected in the village and have their own land. Due to changing circumstances, like massive population growth, not all men can live up to these expectations. Many men feel pressured by their partner, family and peers and resort to domestic violence and substance abuse.
