After being hosted by Germany, Austria and Luxembourg, Sweden will host the 4th ICMEO conference in Stockholm. It focuses on changing social norms and stereotypes as ways to strengthen the focus on men and boys and their role in gender equality politics and efforts. Registration for the Conference is open.

This year’s ICMEO theme is “Masculinity and norm critical approaches: Gender equality work with boys and young men”. Challenging norms for masculinity promotes gender equality and better opportunities for all, and is especially important in work with youth. How do social norms change, and what are the best ways to engage men and boys for gender equality, and a lifestyle with opportunities which reach beyond stereotypical norms?

CEMR’s Swedish member association, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR), is organising one of the six conference sessions which addresses the topic of Masculinity and caregiving.

Day one, May 15, will have an international perspective, and parts of day two more of a Nordic profile, as Sweden holds the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers during 2018.

Parallel workshops

1. Norm critical work in schools
2. Promote equality through education
3. Masculinity and caregiving
4. Young men and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
5. Barbershop dealing with masculinity and trafficking of human beings for sexual purposes
6. Nordic work with violence prevention among young men including honour-related violence
