本文借鉴了 Promundo 和 RWAMREC 在卢旺达实施 MenCare+ 的计划经验，这是一种性别变革方法，旨在让年轻和成年男性（15-35 岁）参与护理、孕产妇、新生儿和儿童健康以及性健康和生殖健康及权利。我们展示了由 600 多名男性组成的父亲团体的初步结果，包括参与这些团体对男性参与护理工作的影响。结果证实了从业者的规划策略的重要性，即让父亲们超越男性象征性地参与护理工作的范畴，以父亲的参与为切入点，真正改变家庭中的性别动态。本文提供了实践经验教训，以指导其他有兴趣与男性合作的组织改变父亲身份和护理工作的规范。
This article draws on Promundo and RWAMREC's programmatic experiences in Rwanda of implementing MenCare+, a gender transformative approach to engaging young and adult men (ages 15-35) in caregiving, maternal, newborn, and child health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. We present initial results from fathers' groups with more than 600 men, including the impact of participation in these groups on men's participation in care work. The results confirm the importance for practitioners' planning strategies to engage fathers to think beyond men's token participation in care work, to use father participation as an entry point to truly transform gender dynamics within the home. The article provides practical lessons learnt to guide other organisations interested in working with men to transform norms around fatherhood and care work.
