Menengage Alliance

MenEngage Alliance is a space for organizations and individuals to come together in solidarity with those most targeted by gender injustice and patriarchal systems to collectively dismantle structural barriers to gender equality, climate and social justice. As a global network, we bring together people and organizations with a shared vision of a world in which gender justice and human rights are recognized, promoted and protected, where all people are equal and free from discrimination and oppression. Our work with men and boys stems from the pioneering work and ongoing leadership of women’s rights and LGBTQI movements. This means we root our understanding of the world in feminist theory and an understanding that patriarchy is a system at the centre of women’s and LGBTQI person’s human rights violations and gender inequalities. The mission of MenEngage Alliance is to transform unequal power relations and dismantle patriarchal systems by- Transforming patriarchal masculinities and rigid, harmful norms around ‘being a man’ - Working with men and boys on gender justice through intersectional feminist approaches - Building inclusive collaborations from local to regional to global levels - Developing joint actions in partnership with and accountability to women’s rights, gender- and other social justice movements.
