Understanding Masculinities in the Middle East and Singapore

February 19th, 2018 | Children and Young People, Events, Gender-based Violence, Muslim Women's Rights, News

With shifts in global political and economic landscapes, how do men see their roles in the changing world around them, and the roles and rights of women and girls? Join our discussion of IMAGES MENA, the first study of its kind to explore the private and public lives of almost 10,000 men and women across the Middle East and North Africa.

Learn more about what these findings mean for the future of the region, and understand how it can relate to the state of men, masculinities and gender equality in Singapore today.
