It\u2019s possible to adopt them now by becoming present and combining our experiences to co-create sustainable solutions to the most pressing problems in our communities. My team and I are here to accompany you and to learn with and from you on this journey.

His career is marked by a strong commitment to addressing gender inequality and violence against women (VAW), and to promoting positive masculinities across Southern Africa, Latin America, and Europe. He is currently a research associate specialising in Caring Masculinities at the University of Pretoria\u2019s Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.313), 17px);\">Since 2003, Dr. Leo has specialized in Gender and Masculinities advocacy, engaging government departments, Academics, Non-Profits, Private-Sector Companies, and rural and urban communities. A significant portion of his career has been dedicated to engaging men and boys in addressing violence against women (VAW) and promoting egalitarian masculinities at various levels. This is evident in his roles as Gender &amp; Masculinities Facilitator for Oxfam International Youth Partnerships, Programs Director at Padare Men\u2019s Forum on Gender in Zimbabwe, and Director at Envision Zimbabwe Women\u2019s Trust. This allowed him to develop extensive experience in organisational development, fundraising, leadership, and program management, particularly in the NGO sector. His experience in staff management, coordinating with boards of trustees, engaging traditional leaders and bureaucrats, and representing organizations at international and regional conferences on gender equality places him at an advantage in developing innovative solutions for contemporary organizations seeking to incorporate egalitarian masculinities into their structures and programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Get in touch &#8230;.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54,"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/54"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/npo.africa\/leo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
