Promundo is a Brazilian-based, non-governmental organization with offices in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Washington, DC, USA, and Kigali, Rwanda, that work in collaboration to promote caring, non-violent and equitable masculinities and gender relations in Brazil and internationally. Promundo's work engages women, girls, boys and men; strives to transform gender norms and power relations within key institutions; and is based on building local and international partnerships. It is an applied research institute that works to test, evaluate and advocate for policies and programs that transform masculinities. ==History== Founded in 1997, Promundo was born out of frustration with the prevailing discourses about gender equality and efforts to put those discourses into action, practice and policy. The institute has concentrated on developing evaluated interventions and advocacy strategies to achieve gender equality with a focus on engaging men and boys in changing inequitable and violent forms of masculinities. Promundo works locally, nationally, and internationally to: *Conduct research to build the knowledge base on masculinities and gender equality; *Develop, evaluate and scale up gender transformative interventions and policies; *Carry out national and international advocacy to achieve gender equality and social justice. Promundo designs, implements, and evaluates its research and evidence-based programs in close partnership with local, not-for-profit Civil Society Organizations. In recent years, Promundo has been increasingly recognized for promoting the role of men and boys in achieving gender equality. Most recently, Promundo expanded its presence to Washington, DC, to support the organization’s international communication, advocacy and technical assistance, which include the coordination of the (MenEngage Alliance ), a global network of NGOs and UN partners working to engage men and boys in gender equality, of which Promundo was a co-founder. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Instituto Promundo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
