From Dakar to Delhi: Politicising Thinking and Policy Discourse on Men and Masculinities

Abstract

This report discusses the process and progress of the Men and Masculinities stream of work within the IDS Gender, Power and Sexuality Programme, supported by the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida). In relation to the overarching programme's emphasis on linking local voices to global arenas to influence policy discourses on gender justice and sexual rights, the paper reviews the contribution made by engagements with the Men and Masculinities field and reflects on challenges faced and lessons learned.
