CARE has put gender equality and women's empowerment at the heart of its programming. Working to achieve this goal implies that there must be a shift in gender norms. In order to accomplish this, CARE has to work with men and boys as clients, partners, and allies. We seek to involve men and boys as part of the solution to gender inequality. We need to address men as allies who benefit from improved gender relations, not only a target group.
