Based on insights from our report “Countering anti-democratic masculinities: State of the art of evidence-based interventions” – which presents a systematic review of strategies aimed at addressing anti-democratic masculinities – here’s what works when it comes to effective interventions.

MEN4DEM releases another report on interventions, this time from the perspective of our expert organization - Emancipator. This report explores strategies for countering antidemocratic tendencies among young boys and men. Read more at www.men4dem.eu/news-events-... @emancipatornl.bsky.social

When did you leave? was developed by Via Berlin in collaboration with researchers from the University of Amsterdam. It was a theatrical experiment that explored themes of radicalization and masculinity. @via-berlin.bsky.social #MEN4DEM Photos: Nichon Glerum

(Q) How will Emancipator contribute? “We are the lead expert organization in the development of interventions which promote democratic masculinities.” @emancipatornl.bsky.social #MEN4DEM

(Q) Why is MEN4DEM important? To work with boys and men fosters warmer relations and positive answers to their searches. This promotes more equal, democratic ways of being and this is extremely important. @emancipatornl.bsky.social #MEN4DEM

Science, and the collaboration with the scientific world, and people working with boys and men, and with artists that can provide new ways of doing this are valuable parts in the fight for gender justice and promoting more caring, democratic masculinities. @emancipatornl.bsky.social #MEN4DEM

WHEN DID YOU LEAVE? Radical immersion - a theatre experiment. The first findings from the experiment performed at Oerol Festival are now live on the MEN4DEM website. Read more at lnkd.in/ddFijgsF

Immigrant-origin MPs remain underrepresented in Europe’s national Parliaments. Even in the Netherlands, the frontrunner, they hold 19% of seats vs. 25% of the population, new research by @zahrarunderkamp.bsky.social & @lizamugge.bsky.social shows ⬇️ aissr.uva.nl/content/news...

🔎💡What a surprise! New article that shows that the TOP political science scholars across the 🌍are overwhelmingly MEN. (Apart from very few amazing women). The authors do not mention a gender gap: they probably missed it. 👇

The @ecpr.bsky.social Gender Study 2024 just came in. I am shocked by the numbers. Especially dramatic is the percentage of women authors published in ECPR-journals: 26% in 2024, compared to 35% in 2023. Please, don't try to fix the women, fix the @##$! system.
