Equimundo, WOW and Our Partners
About Equimundo
Equimundo is a global leader in promoting gender equality and preventing violence by engaging men and boys in partnership with women and girls and individuals of all gender identities. We work with men and boys to transform harmful gender norms and unequal power dynamics, which is critical to achieving gender equality. With partners in more than 55 countries, Equimundo’s work – including high-impact research, evidence-based programs, and targeted advocacy efforts – seeks to create a nonviolent, caring, and gender-equitable future for all.
