In August, MenCare+ Rwanda launched the MenCare+ "Bandebereho" campaign in Kigali. This campaign addresses topics such as caregiving, sharing household responsibilities, prenatal care, and violence. Each of these themes is covered over a three-week period. The campaign has been launched in 16 different sectors with over 3,500 people attending these launches; the campaign’s reach is expected to grow as more activities are implemented in collaboration with local authorities.
