The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), at its 48 th session in 2004, adopted agreed conclusions calling on Governments, entities of the United Nations system and other stakeholders to, inter alia: • Encourage the active involvement of men and boys in eliminating gender stereotypes; • Encourage men to participate in preventing and treating HIV/AIDS; • Implement programmes to enable men to adopt safe and responsible sexual practices; • Support men and boys to prevent gender-based violence; • Implement programmes in schools to accelerate gender equality; • Promote reconciliation of work and family responsibilities. Thus, there is evidence that program and policy interventions can bring about positive change among men, and there is an international mandate for policy and programming addressing men. However, so far most programs have been small in scale, have limited if any sustainability and have not, with a few notable exceptions, been taken up or scaled up at the policy level. Indeed, the emerging findings of the WHO and Promundo study point to the fact that men can and have changed as a result of program interventions, but that our program efforts have been timid and small in scale and have not reflected on how to take such potential for change to a larger scale. While this is not surprising, few program coordinators and staff engaged in such programs are thinking beyond small-scale public health interventions to the large scale of policy levers and initiatives that lead to larger, faster and broader change in men’s behaviors related to sexual and reproductive health. To truly transform gender inequalities, we must go beyond scattered, small-scale interventions and efforts (no matter how effective), towards systematic, large-scale, and coordinated efforts. 4 Engaging Men in Refugee Settings
