Flipping the Script: Why Women Hold the Key to Unlocking Involved Fatherhood
Loading player...
This Women’s Month, Heartlines is challenging the narrative—not by shifting focus from women, but by empowering them to activate one of the most powerful forces in a child’s life: an engaged father.
Join Sam Marshall in a crucial conversation with Zamabonga Mojalefa from Heartlines, the social change organization behind the groundbreaking #FathersMatter campaign, as they explore:
What You’ll Discover:
✔️ The Shocking Stat: 60% of South African children grow up without their biological fathers at home—and what that really means for our society.
✔️ The Toolkit for Women: How mothers, grandmothers, and aunts can encourage—not gatekeep— positive male presence, easing their own burden and strengthening families.
✔️ Beyond Biology: Why "fathers" include uncles, grandfathers, coaches, and community men—and how they fill critical gaps.
✔️ The WhatsApp Lifeline: Heartlines’ secret weapon? A free, 24/7 coaching service (060 058 2107) that’s guiding scared, unsure dads through everything from tummy time to emotional support.
Why This Matters Now:
With rising teen pregnancies, substance abuse, and GBV, the question isn’t "Where are the women?" but "Where are the men?"—and how can women help them step up?
