In this special episode for gender justice month, we talk to Ilse Wermink, MenEngage Europe Director and Florence Bateson, Gender, Peace and Security Expert, to discuss the $1bn globally coordinated war on gender policy, the growing anti-rights movement and its impact in international fora, and the challenges of working on gender policy in hostile, often dangerous, contexts.
This is a confronting episode that captures the interlinkages between the war on gender policy and attempts to choke democracy and shrink the enabling environment for civil society. It’s a must hear for anyone, especially men, working in this space.
