Produced as part of the second phase of the Engendering Men: Evidence on Routes to Gender Equality (EMERGE) project, these case studies illustrate key evidence based approaches and highlight evidence gaps in engaging men and boys in efforts to promote gender equality.
The case studies document evidence from across the regions of Africa, Middle East, Latin America and South Asia. They highlight:
- How Brazil’s national healthcare policy for men is helping to create positive changes in gender roles and relations
- The work of a social movement in Bangladesh in organising landless people to fight for gender and economic justice
- How men and boys are engaged in interventions to eliminate female genital mutilation and cutting (FGM-C) in Ethiopia
- How a project in rural Maharashtra in India engages men to support women’s participation in local politics
- The work of the MenCare campaign in Latin America and its engagement of men as involved, non-violent fathers
- How the One Man Can community mobilisation approach engages men for gender equality and HIV prevention in South Africa
- How the Living Peace project in the Democratic Republic of Congo uses group therapy to reduce sexual and gender based violence and promote equitable gender roles
- The work of HarassMap and Imprint in Egypt in challenging sexual harassment in public spaces
Each case study is accompanied by a Story of Change, which pulls out the key findings and recommendations.
