The Long Form Live: Rwanda Failing Its Boys? | Alain Numa on Masculinity, Trauma & The Future of Men

In Rwanda today, girls are completing school at higher rates than boys, yet young men make up over 85% of prisoners and more than 60% of drug-related arrests. Why are boys being left behind — and what does it mean for Rwanda’s future? In this live-recorded episode of The Long Form, I sit with Alain Numa — a former RPF liberation fighter, Pastor, and founder of Boys to Men, an initiative mentoring teenage boys into responsible men. We discuss Rwandan manhood, masculinity, trauma, fatherhood, and the urgent need to rethink how we raise boys. Is Rwanda at risk of creating a generation of broken men — or can we fix the “boy problem”?This conversation dives deep into gender, mental health, education, men’s rights, and the future of masculinity in Africa, with lessons that go far beyond Rwanda.Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.
