3rd National Men’s Parliament
Parliament will, on Sunday 19 November, host the 3rd National Men’s Parliament in the Collins Chabane Local Municipality in Vhembe District, in Limpopo.
The 3rd National Men’s Parliament, which will also see Deputy President Paul Mashatile officially launch the 2023-2025 Takuwani Riime Men’s Movement Programme of Action, will be held under the theme: “Term of Community Men’s Parliaments” #MenChampioningChange.
“Takuwani Riime” is a Tshivenda expression meaning “Let Us Stand Up Together” – a clarion call to action for men across all elements of the social fabric to stand up and be counted as meaningfully organised partners in advancing community safety, population health and socio-economic development in the country.
The Takuwani Riime Programme of Action represents a crucial milestone in the efforts of the Men’s Parliament to address the scourge of violence against women, advance socioeconomic development and promote men’s health with a special focus on prevention of HIV and gender-based violence. The event brings together leaders across all spectrums such as government, labour, business, Parliament, and civil society.
