Accordingly, the book can be seen as a toolkit for individuals and organizations working to undermine these negative influences around the world.

Engaging Men in Building Gender Equality should be of particular interest to anyone actively involved in gender justice work, efforts transforming masculinities, and to organizations seeking out new ideas in the ever-expanding movement for gender justice.'Voice Male Magazine, 29.10.15'The broad range of issues and perspectives incorporated in this text are what make it such a valuable contribution to the increasingly overlapping realms of scholarship and activism on engaging men in efforts for gender equality. This text both poses and contributes to answering questions that we are increasingly grappling with in this field [...] Engaging Men in Building Gender Equality narrows the gap between activists and researchers interested in addressing gender inequality by working with men.
