Manhood 2.0: A Curriculum Promoting a Gender-Equitable Future of Manhood

Manhood 2.0 is a gender-transformative curriculum developed to engage young men aged 15 to 24 in reflecting on the impacts of harmful gender norms, specifically those surrounding issues such as teen pregnancy prevention, dating violence and sexual assault, and the bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals. Employing a lens of intersectionality, Manhood 2.0 encourages young men to reflect critically on their identities within the particular contexts in which they are formed.
