About the Event

Care work continues to remain one of the most invisible yet essential pillars of our economy, deeply gendered, often unpaid, and unevenly distributed. Advancing gender equity requires not only recognising care but also reimagining who participates in it.

ICRW Asia invites you to ‘𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚: 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐧, 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲’, a dissemination event presenting insights from a national landscape study on engaging men in caregiving in India. The study examines existing approaches, pathways of change, key enablers and barriers and identifies critical gaps to strengthen efforts in this space. The event will feature practitioners’ first-hand field experiences and multi-plenary session as detailed below:

Panel 1: Countering the Influence of the Manosphere
Panel 2: Sustaining Normative and Behavioural Change
Panel 3: Mobilizing Resources Towards Engaging Men in Caregiving

Bringing together stakeholders from civil society, academia, philanthropy, and CSR, the event will foster dialogue on sustaining behaviour change, challenging harmful norms of masculinity, and unlocking pathways to build more equitable and inclusive care systems.
