MenEngage is a global alliance of NGOs and UN agencies, including UNFPA, UN Women, CHSJ and Beijing +20, which act in order to engage boys and men in achieving gender equality.
The alliance consists of more than 400 NGOs from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, Asia and Europe, who met in 2004 with the overall aim of partnership working to promote the engagement of boys and men in achieving gender equality, health promotion and reduction of violence at local, national and global level, including a review of the structural barriers to achieving gender equality.
