My name. My word. My responsibility.

I choose dignity.

I choose respect.

I will respect the boundaries, choices and consent of others.

I will not use violence, intimidation or control against another person.

I will not excuse abuse because the person responsible is my friend, brother, relative or colleague.

I will challenge harmful behaviour when I encounter it.

I will listen.

I will learn.

I will hold myself and the men around me accountable.

I will stand against gender-based violence and femicide.

I will contribute to building safer homes and safer communities.

I choose to be part of the solution.

Kwanele Madoda.
