New PARENT project promoting men’s involvement in caregiving and violence prevention kicks off in Portugal

PARENT brings a gender-synchronized approach – informed by MenCare’s Program P work with fathers and couples –  to tackling the prevention of violence against women and children. By engaging men in co-responsible parenting and an equal share of unpaid care work in four European Union countries (Portugal, Austria, Italy, and Lithuania), PARENT intends to contribute to the prevention of domestic and intra-family gender-based violence (GBV) and violence against children. It seeks to promote change in social attitudes and behavior regarding gender roles in caregiving.
