The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Nigeria is commemorating the Day of the African Child with the revitalization of its Boys2Men program. The program aims to promote positive masculinity, early HIV testing, and treatment initiation among adolescent boys and young men (ABYM).
The foundation stated, “This renewed commitment aims to boost visibility, awareness, and action for ABYM in HIV, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programming across the continent.”
AHF Africa Bureau Chief Dr. Penninah Iutung said, “For too long, adolescent boys and young men have been the invisible demographic in the fight against HIV… Revitalizing our Boys2Men program is a bold step to change that narrative by empowering young men to take control of their health
In Nigeria, AHF will host a football match between the AHF boys and the Waru Community soccer team to engage young boys on building positive masculinity. AHF Nigeria Country Program Director Dr. Echey Ijezie expressed happiness in revitalizing the Boys2Men program, noting it would benefit ABYM.
The Day of the African Child commemorates the 1976 Soweto Uprising and aims to amplify calls for youth-friendly HIV services, CSE, SRHR, and stronger public policies addressing gender-based violence and teenage pregnancy.
