Training Course on Engaging Men and Boys in Gender Equality Programming
Details
Organizer: KINCAID DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Course fee: USD 1000
Introduction
For close to three (3) decades now, gender equality advocates have increasingly urged humanitarian and development organisations to engage men and boys as a complement to empowering women and girls. This course introduces participants to principles, strategies, normative frameworks and policy approaches that have emerged from this work. Examining critical concepts such as masculinity, patriarchy and intersectionality, the course discusses why a holistic approach is central to achieving gender equality and explores the relationship between gender equality, sustainable development and human rights. Through case studies, it will also look at how practitioners can use these key concepts to transform gender relations and overcome gender inequalities faced by women and men.
Case studies will be used to enable interactive learning and activities. Students who successfully complete the course will receive Certificate of Participation.
Objective
Participants will think critically about how men and boys can serve both as change agents and as target groups in realising gender equality and gender justice for all. This course will focus on the lessons learned by organisations that have carried out gender equality programmes that have engaged men and boys in fields such as gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, domestic work and caregiving, education, income generation and economic empowerment of women.
Duration
This certificate course involves approximately 5 days.
