| Summary: | Numerous voices of disrupted families are expressing themselves more loudly, and visible
consequences are observed in countless broken families. Destructive social issues, such as toxic
fatherhood, father absence, and disengaged or unavailable fathers, have resulted in significant
challenges within families. Contributing factors include the breakdown of family structures,
HIV/AIDS, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising divorce rates, and the increasing complexity of family
dynamics. The absence of fathers, often linked to the disintegration of nuclear families, has become
a significant concern, particularly in the South African context. Over the past four decades,
researchers have made substantial progress, developing and refining conceptual frameworks to
clarify human fatherhood. |
