In a world where masculinity is often tied to dominance and aggression, it’s time to reshape the narrative. Join Alex Prout, co-founder of I Have The Right To and father of sexual assault survivor Chessy Prout, as he explores how understanding masculinity can promote gender equity and a more just world. In this engaging session, participants will examine aspirational masculinity versus socially constructed masculinity, reflect on societal expectations, challenge harmful stereotypes, and define their own values. Alex will share his personal journey and insights on promoting healthy masculinity, empowering you to become an advocate for positive change and a supportive ally in fostering respectful relationships.
