In April 2019, the EU adopted the work-life balance directive, in which each EU country must implement non-transferable, 2-month parental leave for men. Currently, Polish law regulations allow men to share parental leave, but due to the fact that the paternity leave can be transferred to the mother, only 1% of Polish dads decide to take it. Share the Care Foundation aims at 50\/50 shared caregiving, as it is a great benefit for all stakeholders: children, women, men, but also the state and economy.\r\n

The Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) program is a social norms theory-based program intended to alter norms that foster gender equality and prevent GBV perpetration, promote bystander intervention, and reduce perpetration by engaging athletic coaches as positive role models to deliver violence prevention tools to boys. For young men ages 15-30, we rely upon the Coaching Leadership Equity and Respect (CLEAR) curriculum, a companion to CBIM, to equip young men with positive mental health and build respectful, non-violent family relationships. With adult men, the organization provides\u00a0 financial and technical support to the Zambia MenEngage network to roll out the evidence-based MenCare approach, which aims to transform negative social norms that perpetuate GBV, IPV and HIV as well as educate men about healthy, equitable, non-violent parenting practices.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
