Women’s Fund Spring Gathering: Healthy Masculinity: Principles Toward Healthier Men and Boys (and to disrupt discrimination against women and girls)

 

Community Foundation’s Women’s Fund is proud to host this event as part of our objective to promote educational, economic, social, and political equality for women.

It takes more than telling a girl “she can do anything” to break a culture of violence and discrimination against women. It takes more than just telling boys to respect girls. Concerned adults know societal messages are everywhere. Teaching and promoting healthy concepts of manhood to each other, our sons and other boys means addressing the messages that impact all our children.
Healthy Masculinity programs work to undo a history of male domination that has deeply influenced the definition of manhood in our culture – a definition that teaches that women are of less value than men, the property of men and sexual objects. These programs offer tools for teaching and promoting healthy concepts of manhood to each other, our sons and other boys.
