Final Conference | Engaged Fatherhood: Learning from the PARENT Project

29/06/2021

GLOBAL

Launched in 2019, the PARENT project aimed to tackle the challenges of prevention and eradication of violence against women and children by engaging men in co-responsible parenting and caregiving, and promoting an equal share of unpaid care work.

Funded by the European Union’s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme and through partnerships with local organisations in four EU countries – Austria, Italy, Lithuania and Portugal – several activities and awareness raising campaigns were developed to promote changes in social attitudes and behaviours regarding gender roles in caregiving.

As the project wraps up, a final conference brought together the various local delivery partners and external guests to reflect on results, lessons learned and ways forward.
