‘School For Husbands’ Where Men Learn To Become Better Husband Goes Viral Online
A ‘school for husbands’ in Burkina Faso is currently making a stir on social media as pictures of its students’ surfaces online.
According to details gathered by OccupyGh.com, the ‘school for husbands’ offers service to men who wish to be better husbands to their wives.
According to UNFPA, 1,600 of these schools have been built so far in the country.
Waimbabie Gnoumou regularly attends these discussions and takes pride in having changed his behavior.
“I would often fight with my wife and even hit her,” he reflected recently. “When you hit someone, you are aware that what you have done is not right.”
Gnoumou’s wife Martine says he is learning to be a better husband.
“Ever since he started going to the husband’s school, our relationship has improved significantly,” Martine said.
Today, he offers a lot more help around the home, Martine says. He fetches water and wood and does other household chores. And he hopes to inspire other men, as well.
The Husbands and Future Husbands School in Mamboué, a village in western Burkina Faso, break down gender stereotypes and shows men the role they have to play in ending violence and empowering their wives and daughters.
The husband’s schools are one small part of a region-wide initiative, Sahel Women’s Empowerment and Demographic Dividend Project (SWEDD), which aims to raise the status of women and girls, improving their health, education prospects and future earning potential.
