Resources

Our training materials can be used to introduce a broad range of audiences and backgrounds to important concepts related to gender and health. Each training course focuses on one of five themes that complement the CORE Gender 101 agenda: Gender Integration, HIV + Sexuality, Safe Motherhood, Gender-Based Violence, and Constructive Male Engagement. The courses are designed to meet the geographic and technical needs of cooperating agencies, USAID Missions, and specific projects. Materials range from basics such as using a shared gender vocabulary and programmatic guidance, to user guides on how to conduct a gender analysis, to exercises for gender trainings. The trainings are geared to be used by anyone and with any audience, even those learning about gender for the first time!

Our popular Gender Integration Continuum framework is an important tool to assess how programs do (or do not) address gender and move them toward more gender-transformative actions. An updated User’s Guide for facilitating training on use of the continuum is available, along with other materials.

Meeting Men’s Mental Health Needs During COVID-19 and Beyond: A Global Health Imperative

externally hosted at Interagency Gender Working Group's Male Engagement Task Force

This commentary argues that while women and girls and men and boys are all affected by the current mental health crisis amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the crisis among men warrants close attention given potential impacts on global public health and the unique, gendered responses required to meet men’s needs. Along with their call to address social and economic vulnerabilities exacerbated during the pandemic, the authors provide examples of evidence-based, scalable interventions to support men’s mental health.

Impact of Masculinity on Men’s Health

externally hosted at News Medical

This blog discusses how a continuous endorsement of masculinity beliefs may negatively influence the overall health and wellbeing of men. Conformity to masculine beliefs prevents men from seeking professional help and care when going through emotional or personal crises, causes them to seek less preventive care, and can contribute to intentional deferment of professional care when experiencing injury or illness.
