Engaging men and boys for gender equality is a key aspect of the fight against inequality and an important factor in reducing gender-based violence and asserting sexual and reproductive health and rights.

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC and one of its NGO partners, IAMANEH Switzerland, are organising the first international conference in Switzerland on the subject of engaging men and boys in gender and development with the aim of shedding light on the current discussions in this area within international cooperation. The two-day conference will include panel discussions with international experts and thematic workshops. Participants will discuss policy-related approaches to engaging men and boys in the fight for gender equality within the field of development cooperation and share best practices from different regions.
