“We believe that by working together with men and boys, Wang-oo will spread awareness and spark action on the responsibilities that men and boys have in unlearning and eliminating all forms of discrimination & violence against women and girls’

Vision

Wang-oo’s vision is a world where Women and Girls’ Rights are lived reality for ALL.

Mission

Wang-oo Forum works in Uganda to be an instrument promoting positive/transformative masculinities in communities to end entrenched gender-based violence through male engagement.

“The appropriate avenue and strategy to deconstruct such ideologies (the do’s and don’ts expected of real men and women) is to go back to the fireside (Wang-oo), re-engage boys and men, empower them to unlearn the “negative” masculinities and exhibit positive masculinities- values of love, respect and equality for all”

“Our campaigns are targeted to build positive ideas around gender, particularly the roles of men and use of their power, and human rights through a range of media, using Fireside chats, drama, songs, poems, and personal stories or testimonies that promote tolerance and understanding, and encourage positive behavior change”
