Policy Brief III. Main Conclusions and Recommendations of the White Book Men and Gender Equality in Portugal

The main objective of the White Paper Men and Gender Equality in Portugal (Wall et al., 2016) is to summarize relevant information on men, male roles and gender equality
and to help identify challenges and recommendations in this area, to be discussed and weighed up by all bodies and social actors interested in promoting gender equality in
Portuguese society.
This document was drafted as part of the project called MEN’S ROLES IN A GENDER EQUALITY PERSPECTIVE, funded by the Mainstreaming of Gender Equality and Work-Life Balance Programme (EEA Grants/Commission for Gender Equality – CIG), and undertaken over the course of two years (2014-16) in a partnership which brought together the Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (Comissão para a Igualdade no Trabalho e no Emprego - CITE) and the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon (Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa – ICS-ULisboa). The participating international representatives were Berit Brandth and Elin Kvande (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and Gerardo Meil (Autonomous University of Madrid).
