The Time Has Come

Pages : 213
Book Description
In the vein of Tim Wise’s White Like Me and Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, The Time Has Come —by co-founder of the White Ribbon campaign Michael Kaufman — offers a plain-spoken and forthright look at why and how men must actively fight for gender equality. From founding the White Ribbon Campaign, the world’s largest organized effort of men working to end violence against women, in the early 1990s, to his appointment as the only male member of the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council, Michael Kaufman has been a major figure in promoting social justice and women’s rights for decades. Now, in The Time Has Come, he issues a stirring call for men to mobilize in the movement for gender equality. Weaving together sociological data, personal experiences, and insights gleaned from decades of work with governments and NGOs around the globe, Kaufman explores topics ranging from domestic violence to parental leave, grappling with the ways in which a culture of toxic masculinity hurts women and men (and their children). Informative and provocative, The Time Has Come demonstrates how real gender equality creates advancements in both the workplace and the global economy, and urges men to become dedicated allies in dismantling the patriarchy.

Book Description
Gender-based violence is a global phenomenon which affects millions worldwide. However, despite the increasing attention which is now paid to this violence by policy makers data seem to indicate that these efforts are not having as great an impact as may have been hoped. In all countries of the world, reports of gender-related violence remain elevated, whilst many incidents of such violence probably remain unreported due to fear of stigma or reprisals for those who are victims. One of the problems in tackling gender-based violence has been that for too long men have been ignored as part of the solution. Men are often labelled as perpetrators of violence, but they are perhaps too infrequently considered also as potential victims, or as partners and actors in the fight against violence. Constructions of masculinities are not adequately studied to analyse how dominant forms of masculinities may contribute to cycles of violence, and may also oppress and traumatise men themselves. This volume aims to address critically the issues of men, masculinity and gender-based violence, asking how men can be fully engaged in the prevention of gender-based violence, and how this engagement can strengthen prevention initiatives.
Taking Men Seriously

Book Description
What role, if any, do community-based structures play in the larger framework of grassroots globalisation and human rights? How do these `big questions' relate to a local program that engages men and boys in gender justice-related work? While gender activists globally have recognised the importance and value of engaging men in gender justice, little in-depth documentation exists on the process of engaging men in gender justice-related work at the community level, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This case study attempts to fill this gap, exploring the development of the Kuyasa One Man Can (OMC) Branch in a township outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The Kuyasa OMC Branch is a community-based initiative under the auspices of Sonke Gender Justice Network, a South African-based NGO that seeks to engage men and boys in gender justice and advocacy. At the same time, this thesis examines the way in which seemingly abstract concepts such as `human rights' and `community development' are essential in democratising the structures in which we live and facilitating individuals to act in their own interest. Arguing for the strength of community-based initiatives in the struggle to eradicate gender-based violence, this thesis calls for men to be more actively involved in issues of women's rights and gender justice more generally. The wounds that remain in South Africa, like many developing countries, are not going to go away over night, and multi-faceted approaches to a complex web of economic, structural, political, and social issues need to happen to lay the foundation for long-term and embedded change to take root. The Kuyasa OMC Branch not only offers us a place to explore the importance of community level facilitation of gender justice-related work, but to confront the ways in which the concept of `human rights' is understood and actualised on the ground.
