Engaging men on gender equality: promising practices Posted: 27 Feb 2015 06:32 AM PST Building on research and evidence on engaging men, Concern has established a group education process to engage men as allies in women's economic empowerment in Tanzania. The programme focuses on enhancing individual and collective capabilities of women and men. Men are engaged in group discussions along with their partners on issues of power, tasks and roles, communication and couple negotiation, decision-making and planning, respect, participation and non-violent relationships. The community dialogue approach has been specifically designed to address the social constructions of masculinities and femininities in this context.
