Dismantling the Man Box to Create Safe Spaces for Women
Men can become allies in ending violence against women and children by “dismantling the man box” says Ms. Renz Prudenciado, resource person for the webinar hosted by the National Research Council of the Philippines in November 2021, in observance of the 18-day campaign on VAWC. Ms. Prudenciado is a former NRCP staff and currently taking up MS in Gender and Development at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand. The man box referred to are the long-held beliefs, traditional practices, and traits of men being dominant, tough, and invulnerable. “Dismantling the man box encourages reforming this thought and beliefs system,” she added.
Ms. Renz Prudenciado presented “Masculinity matters: Engaging men in ending Violence against Women and Children” in a webinar entitled “Of Safe Spaces and Masculinity” held on 7 December 2021 held at the NRCP Auditorium and online.
