Description:
Defying Gender Roles is a multicultural and multilingual advocacy initiative seeking to openly challenge gender inequality and traditional masculinity by making visible how harmful gender roles and norms impede the full exercise of rights for girls, women, and gender minorities. It is a grassroots group formed by men and women convinced about the need to act purposefully in making visible alternative gender roles and to contribute in deconstructing harmful traditional gender roles attributed to men (and women) in society. In addition to other activities, Defying Gender Roles' founder delivers training on gender equality at learning institutions, workplaces and events.
