INTERVIEW: HOW DO MENTOR AND MAKE SURE THE BOY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT ROLE MODELS
MOVEMBER IS AN ANNUAL CAMPAIGN THAT RAISES AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR
MEN'S HEALTH ISSUES, INCLUDING: PROSTATE CANCER, MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH, AND
SUICIDE. WE DECIDED TO FOCUS ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE BOY CHILD WHO
WILL ONE DAY BECOME A MAN IN SOCIETY ONE DAY.
A SOUTH AFRICAN STUDY FOUND THAT BOYS ARE OFTEN SUBJECTED TO BULLYING,
PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE, AND HARSH PUNISHMENTS FROM PEERS AND
TEACHERS. BOYS MAY DISENGAGE FROM SCHOOL AND EXTERNALIZE TRAUMA, WHICH
CAN LEAD TO NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS LIKE TRUANCY OR DROPPING OUT.
THE BOYS' VULNERABILITY STUDY FOUND THAT BOYS MAY DROP OUT OF SCHOOL,

HIV/AIDS AND SRHR
