About Mardon Wali Baat
Mardon Wali Baat Programme at TYPF works with young men and boys in campus and community settings to facilitate a deeper reflection on masculinities that can lead to a rejection of patriarchal gender norms and gender based violence. It takes up systematic reflection, dialogue, and action to change the way men and boys understand and engage with masculinity and the pressure to perform it in certain set ways. The programme takes up research and designs approaches and interventions to address masculinity and the gendered experiences of men and boys in an intersectional manner. Ultimately, it seeks to deepen the understanding and practice of feminist allyship by young men and boys towards a rejection of violence and the advancement of positive masculinities in thought and action.
