Conscientizing Male Adolescents (CMA)

Founded in 1995 in the southeastern city of Calabar by former journalist and longtime political activist Edwin Madunagu, CMA seeks to promote critical consciousness and anti-sexist attitudes among teenage boys. CMA's comprehensive curriculum helps boys to examine sources of oppression in their own lives, apply their analysis to society at large, and identify ways that they can change their own behavior. Through weekly discussion sessions, a library and documentation center, school and community outreach programs, and a quarterly newsletter, CMA is building a new generation of Nigerian men who practice and promote gender equality as a way of life. IWHC has supported CMA since its creation in 1995.
