Pathways for Engaging Men & Boys in Gender Justice is an online community of people passionate about creating a Canada that actively works with boys and men to progress gender justice and prevent violence.
Pathways aims to:
Support learning about how to work with men and boys to progress gender justice and prevent violence
Build a bridge between academic research and community leaders on the ground
Increase the number of people in Canada working with men to progress gender justice and prevent violence
Pathways is for people already working in the gender justice/violence prevention space who want to deepen their understanding of how best to work with men and boys towards gender justice, and connect with others in the sector.
It’s also for newcomers to this work who don’t do it as their day-to-day but who wat to learn about creating a more gender-equitable world, starting within their own communities. For example, sports coaches, managers/team leaders in male-dominant fields, educators and DEI professionals.
As a Pathways member, you’ll gain access to our monthly workshops and events led by experts in the field, become part of a community of like-minded people, benefit from easy access to resources about engaging men and boys, and have asynchronous support through our online forum.
