A More Equal Future: A MenCare Manual to Engage Fathers to Prevent Child Marriage in India

This manual was developed as part of a collaboration between World Vision and Promundo to engage fathers in the prevention of child marriage. It was developed as a response to strong societal and cultural resistance that supports the continuation of child marriage in communities where World Vision works and is a concrete tool to engage men as fathers and allies in women’s and girls’ empowerment. With a skilled facilitator, the tool allows the provision of a safe and constructive space for men to reflect on and redefine what it means to be men and fathers in their communities.
