Symposium Position Paper
The Fathers Matter: Amplifying children’s voices about fatherhood report by Heartlines, through extensive focus groups with children aged 10-16 years across Gauteng, Limpopo, and the Western Cape, represents a critical shift in how the issue of fatherhood is approached and the intervention strategies. South African children have been given the space to define what makes a good or bad father, and to articulate their experiences of the absence or presence of fathers. Their voices are essential in shaping the pathways to transformation.
This position paper forms part of the upcoming symposium to discuss the report.
