Men in particular, subjected to destructive stereotypes and toxic concepts of masculinity, have struggled to seek help in dealing with their trauma.
In this community based social therapy group in Rwanda's countryside, the towns' male population has found a way to overcome debilitating rules of manhood. In their meetings they work on their psychological well-beings, they learn to forgive themselves and each other and foster unity and reconciliation on the grass root level.
Both perpetrators and survivors are still healing from the psychological wounds inflicted during Rwanda's darkest times, the 1994 Genocide in which up to a million people lost their lives in a killing spree that lasted no longer than just 100 days.
A quarter century later, the shadows and horrors of Rwanda's past still lingers in every corner of the country.
