“Like the baobab sustains life, libraries sustain community knowledge across generations, preserving equitable access to knowledge as scholarly communication systems develop and evolve.
We must continue to support alternative publishing methods, like APOS, and, in the face of skyrocketing subscription prices and APCs, provide infrastructure for knowledge dissemination.”
— Andiswa Mfengu via Katina Magazine

Since 1992, attention has been focused on men's well-being, including the harsh realities: lower life expectancy, higher suicide rates, more violence, and significant taboos surrounding mental health.
Many men's groups remain underrepresented on Wikipedia.
Today, we invite everyone to make these stories visible and contribute to a more complete, fairer knowledge landscape.
