Working with Men for Gender Equality


Add your own review!

Overview

Working with men on gender equality is essential to challenge patriarchal constraints that men experience in their own lives. Authors here share experience of working with men to question traditional ideas about masculinity. Men rejecting these norms are not only happier, but are also critical allies with women in struggles for gender equality. Feminist work by men, with men, is a critical part of gender-transformative development.
