Engaging Men and Boys in Gender Equality

More frequently the issue of bringing men into the conversation on gender equality is coming to the fore.

The attached report, from the Men and Gender Equality Project summarizes how policies of seven countries (Brazil, Chile, India, Mexico, South Africa, Norway and Tanzania) involve men in gender equality goals. The study also examines whether the policies address social norms that reinforce traditional perceptions of what it means to be a man. The authors analyze advances, challenges and remaining gaps in a range of policy arenas, such as public security, health, livelihoods and engaging men as fathers and caregivers.
