Parivartan: An Initiative of Coaching Boys into Men, Preliminary Results
Public policies have yet to adequately engage men and boys in overcoming gender inequality or addressing their own gender-related vulnerabilities.
The Men and Gender Equality Policy Project (MGEPP) is a multi-year effort to leverage evidence from existing programs and policies, and via formative qualitative and quantitative research, to raise awareness among policymakers and program planners of the need to involve men in health and development agendas. The research is currently under way in Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, China, Croatia, India, Mexico, South Africa and Tanzania, with additional countries still joining. It provides insights on how to achieve large-scale impact in promoting more cooperative and equitable relations between women and men, reducing gender inequities, calling attention to men’s gender-related vulnerabilities. The researchers reviewed existing gender equality policies in each of the participating countries for ways that men and masculinities are considered, or not.
This report looks at case studies from the partner countries, evaluating their public policies, how they reflect on gender, and what are the gaps that exist between policies and laws in these nations.
