南非约翰内斯堡的男性社区正通过非营利组织Father A Nation发起倡议，致力于推广积极的男性气质，以期减少针对妇女的暴力事件1。该组织创始人Craig Wilkinson表示，消除性别暴力这一社会祸害是组织的核心目标1。
南非面临严峻的性别暴力危机。在4月至6月间，有569名女性遭到杀害，平均每天6人丧生，另有1052人幸存谋杀未遂1。近期，埃库图莱尼市在三个月内发现12具女性尸体，引发了全国对这一问题的关注1。根据2022年人类科学研究委员会的报告，超过35%的南非妇女曾经历过身体或性暴力1。
组织内的活动人士强调了男性参与的必要性。社区成员Bra Steve指出："我们必须团结起来反对性别暴力和女性杀害"1。Zizipho Mtwesi则表示："每一个男人都需要知道他们需要在其中发挥作用"1。
Men in Johannesburg communities are mobilizing to combat violence against women by promoting positive masculinity through the nonprofit organization Father A Nation.1 The initiative comes amid a severe crisis of gender-based violence in South Africa, where between April and June, 569 women were killed—averaging six deaths per day—and 1,052 others survived murder attempts.1 According to a 2022 Human Sciences Research Council report, more than 35 percent of South African women have experienced physical or sexual violence.1
The discovery of 12 female bodies in the Ekurhuleni municipality within a three-month period reignited national attention on the country's gender violence epidemic.1 Craig Wilkinson, founder of Father A Nation, emphasized that the organization's mission is to eliminate gender violence as a scourge.1 Community members like Bra Steve stressed the urgency of collective action, stating that "we must come together against gender violence and femicide."1 Zizipho Mtwesi underscored the role of men in addressing the crisis, noting that "every man needs to know they need to play a part in it."1
