Male Advocacy For Gender Equality (MAFGE) is a company, located at Arusha, Tanzania. Visit their website www.mafge.org or LinkedIn profile for more detailed information.

MAFGE is an autonomous non-governmental organization founded by individuals from Tanzania who believe in the fundamental importance of women's empowerment and gender balance, and recognise that men have a crucial role to play in the fight for gender equality.Men must fight for equality and women's rights alongside women. As such, MAFGE seeks to empower women by reaching and educating men. We believe that the implementation of our approach alongside the efforts of other women-focused initiatives in our community will not only bring about success for all gender equality efforts, but will also create a brighter future for our people.MAFGE wants to ensure that men will be able to share responsibilities with their counterparts as women begin to fill social, economic, and community-leadership roles. Our mission is to create a broader, healthier, safer, and richer community. We must change the norm. We can only do so by embedding into our cultural practices and beliefs the true notion that women are valuable and, in every sense of the word, EQUAL to men. Only with male support can we see true change and create an environment where women are respected as well as protected from all violations of human rights, just as men are. We are calling our men to action, challenging them to get involved and work alongside women towards a more equal Tanzania.
