AI Summary

short article 1 min

In Senegal, a program called "School of Husbands" is working to combat gender inequality by providing a safe space for men to discuss sensitive topics. The government-endorsed and UN-backed initiative has established 20 schools and trained over 300 men. These schools allow men to ask questions and challenge deeply ingrained gender biases that they may not feel comfortable addressing publicly. Al Jazeera reported on one such school in Pikine on January 8, 2026. The program aims to promote gender equality by educating men and encouraging them to reconsider traditional roles.
