What men have to do with it. Public policies to promote gender equality
Most policies that strive for equality still focus exclusively on empowering women and neglect the role that men can play in the effort. This report 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.

Defying the Odds: Leassons learnt from Men for Gender Equality Now
How does change happen? What can spark men and women to start challenging the gender roles they have been socialized into performing? And is it possible for men who have always had negative attitudes towards women, even using violence to control women, to change and become activists for gender equality? In this book, gender justice activists from Men for Gender Equality Now (MEGEN Kenya) share their personal experiences as individuals and as Changemakers. Besides personal stories told by activists, this publication also includes short briefs on the work of MEGEN Kenya, highlighting the challenges, successes and lessons learnt in different program areas. The aim of publicly sharing these experiences is to inspire other organizations to learn from MEGENs work with men to promote gender equality.
