Transforming MENtalities: Gender Equality and Masculinities in India (2023)

This comprehensive report from the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) stresses the need to engage and empower men and boys in critically evaluating local norms around masculinities and challenging negative stereotypes and behaviors. Through multiple frames of analysis and across different spheres, it maps policies and the potentially transformative role of men, as key stakeholders, in achieving gender equality. Though focused on India, the report’s recommendations have a wider resonance – for South Asia and globally.
