The campaign involves training university staff and students to become master trainers. These individuals will then educate teachers and students, facilitating monthly discussions on various themes. The program aims to empower students to discern acceptable campus behavior.
Key issues addressed include gender bias in hiring, where recruiters might favor men for certain roles. The guide also delves into how patriarchal norms and toxic masculinity can harm men by encouraging emotional suppression and influencing perceptions of relationships and consent.
