** The State of South Africa's Fathers 2024 - Changing Narratives of Fatherhood
------------------------------------------------------------
We are pleased to announce the release of our latest report: The State of South Africa's Fathers, SOSAF 2024 ([link removed]) . This pioneering research investigates the changing realities of fatherhood in South Africa, a country beset by numerous socioeconomic challenges.

What does it mean to be a father in South Africa today? This report delves into this complex question, examining how traditional notions of fatherhood are being challenged and redefined.

Some of the key findings and insights arising from SOSAF 2024 include:
* A data-driven look into the lives of South Africa's fathers, drawing on the 2023 General Household Survey and a global survey of adult caregivers.
* An examination of how care is negotiated and reinterpreted through shifting gender roles and concepts of masculinity.
* Insights into the financial and emotional support men provide to their children.
* The roles of fathers: contributions, challenges, and possibilities within economic uncertainty and precarity as well as systemic inequities.
* Policy reforms and recent trends in caregiving.

SOSAF 2024 is not only about the gaps between expectations and realities; it's also a call to change the narrative about fatherhood. In reality, this report tells a fuller, more nuanced story of fathers and illuminates their vital role as a transformative force for families, communities, and society.

We encourage reading the full report and sharing it with your networks. We truly believe this research is at the core of understanding and supporting fathers in South Africa.
