L'Afrique du Sud a des politiques robustes en matière de genre et de VIH, mais aussi le plus haut niveau documenté au monde de violences commises par des hommes sur des femmes, ainsi que le plus grand nombre de personnes vivant avec le VIH. Il a été nommé comme exemple de meilleures pratiques par l'OMS, l'ONUSIDA et l'UNFPA, traduit en près de douze langues et mis en œuvre dans l'ensemble du continent africain. One Man Can (OMC – Un homme peut) est un programme de lutte pour l’égalité de genre et pour la santé basé sur les droits mis en œuvre par Sonke Gender Justice en Afrique du Sud. This article shares our findings in more detail and discusses the promises and challenges of gender-transformative work with men, underscoring the implications of this work for the health and well-being of women, children, and men. The workshops appear to have contributed powerfully to improved parenting and more involved and responsible fathering. To understand whether and how OMC workshops brought about changes in men's attitudes and practices related to parenting, an academic–non-government organisation partnership was carried out with the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Cape Town, and Sonke. In this context, OMC seeks to improve men's relationships with their partners, children, and families, reduce the spread and impact of HIV and AIDS, and reduce violence against women, men, and children. South Africa has strong gender and HIV-related policies, but the highest documented level of men's violence against women in the world, and the largest number of people living with HIV. It has been featured as an example of best practice by the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, and the UN Population Fund, and translated into nearly a dozen languages and implemented all across Africa. ‘One Man Can’ (OMC) is a rights-based gender equality and health programme implemented by Sonke Gender Justice in South Africa.
