Equimundo: Center for Masculinities and Social Justice has worked internationally and in the US since 2011 to engage men and boys as allies in gender equality, promote healthy manhood, and prevent violence. Equimundo brings evidence to action through innovative research which in turn informs our programs and advocacy work across the world in local communities. Equimundo works to achieve gender equality and social justice by transforming intergenerational patterns of harm and promoting patterns of care, empathy and accountability among boys and men throughout their lives. Equimundo’s approach centers on changing the way boys and men view power, gender, and their roles in society to improve both their wellbeing and that of women, girls and non-binary individuals.
