Men-streaming in sexual and reproductive health and HIV: A toolkit for policy development and advocacy (2010)

Sexual and reproductive health and rights and HIV programmes are likely to have greater impact on communities if they address constructively the actual and potential role of men in society. At present, however, many such programmes often fail to target men, to address their specific needs and understand the wider influence of male and female gender norms. This Men-streaming toolkit helps organizations create, and advocate for, affirmative policies which promote the positive roles that men can play in improving their own sexual and reproductive health – and those of women and children. It explains why this is important and how to achieve it. It is intending for use primarily for those responsible for developing organizational policy at national, regional and international levels.
