Engaging Men and Boys in Food and Nutrition Security: The Hidden Half of Gender Equality Programming

SPRING, TOPS, and USAID hosted the final segment in a three-part webinar series, Women's Empowerment and Men's Engagement: How a Focus on Gender Can Support Agriculture and Nutrition. Theresa Hwang, Gender Director with CARE USA, and Maureen Miruka, Pathways Team Leader with CARE USA, shared experience from CARE’s rights-based approach to gender equality, which recognizes that men are not only instrumental to women’s empowerment, but that they are also affected by poverty and face specific vulnerabilities and limitations based on their gendered roles.
