The evidence report is designed to help answer the question: ‘what works best when it comes to engaging men and boys for gender equality?’ The review critically assesses trends and shifts in related social norms and structures over the past 20 years, successful policies and programmes and implications for best practice, and future directions for promoting men’s and boys’ support for gender equality across a variety of priority thematic areas. Each chapter reviews the changes that have taken place in a particular thematic area. These include: •Poverty, work and employment •Fatherhood, unpaid care and the care economy •Education •Sexual health and rights •Health and well being •Sexual and gender based violence •Conflict, security and peace building •Public and political participation The goal is to move beyond a narrow individualistic programmatic focus and attempt to achieve a broader and more comprehensive understanding of the interplay between laws, policies and institutional practices in achieving gender equality and the most effective pathways for sustainable change that take into account individual, community and structural factors.
