Caregiving transforms men in innumerable positive ways. As men do more of the caregiving, violence against women falls. Delinquency declines. The health, happiness and well-being of men, children and women improve. Couples report better sex lives. Women’s income increases. And domestic conflicts diminish.

In contrast to popular belief, research shows that fathers are as capable as mothers to care for children and develop deep emotional connections with them. When men role model respect and care for women and girls and take part in caregiving, boys grow up to do the same.

With all we now know about the importance of fathers, the status quo has got to change. This White Ribbon Week – a global movement of men committed to ending violence against women – let’s talk about how we can create a society that acknowledges how much men really matter in the home.

Join us for an interactive discussion with Michael Kaufman, co-founder of the White Ribbon campaign and expert on fatherhood, on the far-reaching effects caregiving can have on men, their partners, their children and their communities.
