Abstract

AVILES, Bakea Alonso Fernández de. Analysis of the Inclusion of Men and Masculinities in the Strategic Plans for Equality in Spain. Ex aequo [online]. 2021, n.43, pp.49-68.  Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 0874-5560.  https://doi.org/10.22355/exaequo.2021.43.04.

The inequality between women and men makes the action of the public powers necessary for its eradication. After 30 years of equality policies, strategies are needed that more effectively address the complexity of gender relations. Equality policies have focused on combating discrimination against women and promoting their participation in society. However, few concrete measures have been designed to promote change in men, despite the recommendations of different international organizations. Through a review of the equality plans drawn up in Spain, at both state and autonomous community level, we will analyze the type of measures aimed at men that are being designed. This analysis is part of the discussion on how public policies can promote the transformation of men and the meaning of masculinity in our societies.

Keywords : Equality policies; plans for equality; gender; masculinities.
