Deadline-9 July 2012
Gender & Development first published a very influential issue on Men and Masculinity in 1997. Since then, working with men has become standard practice for many development organisations working on gender issues. What are the challenges and the successes? Has some of the energy around feminist transformation been lost? Or are the links between changing men’s behaviour and the empowerment of women so clear that this body of practice is itself transformative? As ever, the answers are contextual and case-specific. This issue hopes to explore some of the key issues in grounded case studies of real experience of working with men to promote gender equality.
Development and feminist policymakers and practitioners, and researchers, are all invited to share insights in this Working with Men with Men on Gender Equality issue of Gender & Development. The journal is essential reading for all concerned with gender-fair development.
Areas from which authors might want to share their research and experience include working with men on–
- gender-based violence, both domestic and in conflict and post-conflict contexts
- HIV and AIDS and sexual and reproductive health and rights more broadly
- fatherhood and caring
- gender mainstreaming in institutions
- livelihoods and changing patterns of gendered employment
