| Evaluating Men’s Involvement as a Strategy in Sexual and Reproductive Health Promotion | evaluating_mens_involvement_as_a_strategy_in_sexual_and_reproductive_health_promotion.pdf | Initial strategies to deal with “the problem of men” as gatekeepers who restrict women and children’s access to health services usually focused on women’s empowerment and women-targeted gender equality programs. Health promoters working to protect women worked directly with women and girls to empower them, particularly for sexual and reproductive health. However, following the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo (1994) and the Women’s International Conference in Beijing (1995) a new framework for development arose that called for greater participation of men in health promotion. This shift in theory was based on the idea that women’s empowerment without the involvement of men was only a “partial solution” and could actually create more problems through the exclusion or alienation of men. | |||
