An alliance of 10 NGOs that have experience working with children, parents, and educational and social institutions recently announced the launch of a new campaign called “Being a Father” in Bulgaria. This initiative, which forms part of the global MenCare Campaign, focuses on the benefits of men’s active participation in childcare and family care.
“Being a Father” aims to increase the proportion of fathers who are actively involved in childcare by providing a variety of opportunities to engage positively in children’s lives in supportive, non-violent family environments. The campaign will provide fathers – and all parents and guardians – with access to practical resources about child development and caregiving. Its main activities will include a national media campaign, educational workshops with professionals and parents in schools, and the creation of a network of organizations that are committed to working to produce policy changes and positive male involvement in children’s lives.
As part of the campaign, MenCare Bulgaria has launched a new website, which includes campaign information, personal stories, news, events, resources and information (in Bulgarian) on how to join the movement.
