Online Discussion Sonke Gender Justice Network, Men for Gender Equality Sweden (Män för Jämställdhet), the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Wikigender invite you to participate in an online discussion on:

Engaging Men and Boys to Transform Discriminatory Social Norms

The discussion is open from Monday 22 October until Wednesday 31 October. The outcomes of the discussion will be presented at a seminar in Stockholm on "Measuring progress towards

gender equality: where do we stand?", co-organised by the OECD Development Centre and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

We are particularly interested in your contributions on the following:

•What are the opportunities and challenges for engaging men and boys in promoting gender equality? How can men and boys be persuaded that gender equality also benefits them? •In your area/region, what are examples of successful programmes in engaging men and boys in transforming discriminatory social norms? (e.g. socio-cultural practices, caring responsibilities, employment rights, gender- based violence...) •What actions should governments, donors, UN bodies and civil society take to support the engagement of men and boys in achieving gender equality?

Many thanks on behalf of the Wikigender Team and we look forward to your participation!
