Online Course: Engaging Men Towards Gender Equality

This free e-learning course from Gender Hub aims to support policymakers, practitioners and activists who are committed to achieving a just society for all, regardless of gender, by offering the tools and knowledge needed to engage men towards gender equality. The course starts on 17th January 2017 and runs until 14th February 2017. During the course participants will learn how gender inequality, whilst overwhelmingly negatively impacting women, also negatively impacts men and boys themselves.

The course has been designed for a broad range of people, including: gender focal points within ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), gender leads in Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and those working in new and traditional media roles.

However anyone interested in understanding the challenges relating to gender stereotyping, such as non-gender specialist policy advisors, academics and students would also benefit. Although the course is intended to be most useful for people in Nigeria, it could be valuable for people from any region, especially within Sub-Saharan Africa.
