Founded on 1 March 2021 in Kayanza, the Burundian association Abagabo mu gahinda supports men who are victims of domestic violence, its president, Boniface Nduwimana, explains. He says he founded the group after experiencing such violence himself; the organisation then sought to raise awareness of its cause, Yaga Burundi reports.
In Kayanza, the Burundian association Abagabo mu gahinda (“Men in distress”) supports men who are victims of domestic violence, in a debate usually focused on women. Its work has drawn the attention of the president of the Republic, Yaga Burundi reports.
Based near the building known as “chez Khalfani”, the association advocates recognising violence suffered by men without calling into question efforts to combat gender-based violence against women, according to Yaga Burundi.
