ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the current state of men’s gender justice engagements globally. It highlights key theories pertaining to men’s gendered activism, summarizes the key paradigms used, and provides examples of the programs and organizations that use them, and discusses pressing issues facing men’s engagement projects, including accountability, intersectionality, evaluation, collaboration, and constituencies. It concludes with concerns likely to be inherent in the project of engaging men, arguing that since men’s engagement programs respond directly to the social context around them, as long as sexism is built into social structures, engaging men will be an imperfect endeavor.
