Highlights from a November 2019 Grassroot Soccer Equalize! Tournament in Khayelitsha, South Africa, featuring 2X World Cup Champion Christen Press and 2x World Cup Champion Tobin Heath.
Grassroot Soccer’s project Equalize! focuses on shaping positive and equal gender norms and improving sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) among adolescent boys and young men (ABYM) in South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The ultimate goal of Equalize! is to promote gender equality and SRHR by working with ABYM to build their assets around SRHR, increase their access to high impact health services, and promote their adherence to positively protective and healthy behaviours. Grassroot Soccer will implement its all-male, gender transformative curriculum, SKILLZ Boy, delivered by young men trained as peer educators and mentors, “Coaches.”
The project is made possible by generous support from the Swedish Postcode Foundation.
