Masculinity-Conscious Municipal Policies

The hbs Tel Aviv, in collaboration with Hameorer training center for gender and sexual education and the Gender Studies’ Masculinities program at Bar-Ilan University, will hold unique conference on the topic of masculinity-conscious policies in local authorities.

At the conference, we will examine various aspects of municipal policies – in education, welfare, culture and leisure, health and more - from a gendered perspective that focuses on questions of masculinity.

We will look into the complex intersections between masculinity, family, welfare, education, security and protection in the local authority space, and offer strategies for promoting masculinity-conscious policy - with the aim of strengthening mental resilience, promoting personal well-being, reducing violence and advancing gender equality.
