The job of Edward Wageni, the director of HeForShe*, is to find the tools to help men change their behaviours towards women and push for structural shifts on all levels.
In this episode of Cry Like a Boy, we discuss the challenges that Wageni faces working with men and why gender equality is good for everyone, not just women.
*HeForShe is a UN initiative that focuses on engaging men and boys to achieve gender equality. The movement has numerous famous ambassadors, among them is actor Emma Watson, who was one of the first voices of the campaign in 2014 with a speech that quickly went viral.
This is a special spin-off episode of Cry Like a Boy hosted by Mame Peya Diaw and produced by Naira Davlashyan and Marta Rodriguez Martinez.
Music theme: Gabriel Dalmasso.
