When it comes to gender equality and healthy masculinities, the story we’re about to share is nothing short of inspiring. It details the inception of a groundbreaking program to its transformative impact in two West African nations: Guinea and Mali, where a project implemented by UNFPA was strengthened with Equimundo\u2019s support, emphasizing the power of cross-issue collaboration.<\/p>\n

UNFPA West and Central Africa Regional Office (WCARO) started a partnership with Equimundo in 2018 for their SWEDD project<\/a>, which aims to stimulate the demographic dividend, reduce gender inequalities, and improve family planning in the region. The primary goal of this collaboration was to introduce gender-transformative approaches (GTA) into UNFPA\u2019s Husbands and Future Husbands Schools (HS, FHS), where despite achieving remarkable results, gender equality and women’s empowerment remained significant gaps.<\/p>\n

As an expert in the field of masculinities and male engagement, Equimundo was invited to provide technical assistance and training to HS facilitators and trainers in order for them to see changes in harmful masculine norms.<\/p>\n

The Husbands Schools grew from six countries initially to thirteen, with Equimundo offering continuous technical assistance and learning from each country’s unique experiences. To distinguish this modified program from traditional Husbands Schools, Equimundo introduced a new name \u2013 CDM\/CDFM (Club des Maris [Husbands Club\/HC] and Club des Futurs Maris [Future Husbands Club\/FHC]) \u2013 adapted to the local context in each country.<\/p>\n

Shamsi Kazimbaya, Senior Program Officer at Equimundo, visited Guinea, a new country in the SWEDD project, and Mali, one of the experienced countries, to see what was happening on the ground, how communities embraced the program, to hear their stories of change and understand how Husbands Clubs are helping men to shifts norms to become more involved in their families\u2019 lives. The trip also intended to record any challenges encountered.<\/p>\n

During her visit to Guinea, Shamsi facilitated an orientation workshop in Kindia. Traditional Husbands, known locally as “Maris Mod\u00e8les,” were invited to share their experiences and learn how the CDM\/CDFM approach differed from the traditional one. One Mari Mod\u00e8le (model husband), after the first day’s discussions, realized he had much to learn and immediately applied his newfound insights to improve communication with his wife, calling her that evening and noticing how differently and positively their communication went \u2013\u2013 a total shift from the way he used to communicate with her before. When he later shared his story, everyone in the room was amazed by it.<\/p>\n

In Guinea, the workshop included two activities from the CDM manuals: gender values clarification and an exploration of power dynamics. These activities revealed that while Maris Mod\u00e8les believed they were promoting gender equality, some of their thoughts inadvertently reinforced gender inequality. For example, one Mari Mod\u00e8le believed that women should acknowledge men as more intelligent to maintain harmony in the household, while another thought women\u2019s financial empowerment caused problems and eventually led to divorce.<\/p>\n

These insights highlight the importance of Equimundo’s work in challenging traditional gender norms in these communities. For example, the \u201cPersons and Things\u201d (used during the workshop in Guinea, see pictures above), an activity from the Husbands Clubs curriculum, is a powerful, transformative and sometimes emotional exercise because it raises participants\u2019 awareness about the existence of power in relationships, helps them to reflect on how people communicate and demonstrate power, and its impact. During the discussions following the exercise, participants reflected about gender and relationships between men and women in their community, making connections between how one might feel oppressed, or treated like \u201cobjects\u201d in some of their relationships and how they, in turn, might treat others like \u201cobjects.\u201d It ultimately encourages thinking about how these connections can help motivate participants to construct more equitable relationships with women in their homes and communities.<\/p>\n

The situation in Mali, however, paints a contrasting picture. Men in Mali proudly shared how they have changed and decided to break the cultural barriers to get more involved in the lives of their families, sharing household chores with their wives and caring for their children, for instance.<\/p>\n

A visit to a Husbands Club in the village of Fougani in Mali reveals the story of Modibo, who proudly describes his transition into a \u201cmodel husband” by actively participating in traditional women’s roles, such as cooking. His friend’s reaction, shouting “Gnougoutigu\u00e8 Modibo” or “Modibo, spinach cutter,” captures the humor and resilience in their pursuit of change.<\/p>\n

The men, often called “tiemoussoman” (men who became like women), remain undeterred by labels. Their focus is on the positive impact they create within their families and communities. Women, including wives and neighbors of these men, affirm the changes and their happiness about them and advocate for the enrollment of more men in the Husbands Clubs. In fact, a mid-term SWEDD impact evaluation in another implementing country, C\u00f4te D\u2019Ivoire, found that safe spaces for women, know as \u201cEspaces S\u00fbrs\u201d and SWEDD\u2019s flagship program, are more impactful when combined with CDMs and CDFMs.<\/p>\n

In Guinea and Mali, the evolution from traditional husband to model husband is breaking stereotypes and fostering a new era of healthy masculinity and gender equality. Equimundo and UNFPA\u2019s work serves as a beacon of hope for creating a more inclusive and harmonious world, and underscores the power of collaboration. Husbands Clubs show that change is possible when individuals challenge the status quo, embrace transformation, and walk the path toward a more equal future.<\/p>\n

Du mari traditionnel au mari mod\u00e8le : un voyage vers l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes et la red\u00e9finition de la masculinit\u00e9

En mati\u00e8re d’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes et de masculinit\u00e9 saine, l’histoire que nous allons partager est tout simplement inspirante. Elle d\u00e9crit en d\u00e9tail la cr\u00e9ation d’un programme novateur et son impact transformateur dans deux pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest : Guin\u00e9e et Mali, o\u00f9 un projet mis en \u0153uvre par l’UNFPA a \u00e9t\u00e9 renforc\u00e9 avec le soutien d’Equimundo, soulignant ainsi le pouvoir de la collaboration interdisciplinaire.<\/p>\n

Le Bureau r\u00e9gional de l’UNFPA pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre (WCARO) a entam\u00e9 un partenariat avec Equimundo en 2018 pour son projet SWEDD, qui vise \u00e0 stimuler le dividende d\u00e9mographique, \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s entre les sexes et \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la planification familiale dans la r\u00e9gion. L’objectif principal de cette collaboration \u00e9tait d’introduire des approches transformatrices de genre (ATG) dans les \u00e9coles de maris et Futurs maris (EDM, EDFM) de l’UNFPA, o\u00f9, malgr\u00e9 l’obtention de r\u00e9sultats remarquables, l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes et l’autonomisation des femmes demeuraient des insuffisances importantes.<\/p>\n

En tant qu’expert dans le domaine de la masculinit\u00e9 et de l’engagement des hommes, Equimundo a \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9 \u00e0 fournir une assistance technique et une formation aux facilitateurs et aux formateurs des \u00e9coles de maris afin qu’ils puissent promouvoir des changements positifs et transformer les normes masculines pr\u00e9judiciables.<\/p>\n

Les nombre de pays qui mettent en place des \u00e9coles de maris est pass\u00e9 de six \u00e0 treize pays avec une assistance technique continue de Equimundo tout en tirant les le\u00e7ons des exp\u00e9riences uniques de chaque pays. Pour distinguer ce programme modifi\u00e9 des \u00e9coles des maris traditionnelles, Equimundo a introduit un nouveau nom \u2013 CDM\/Club des Maris (Husbands Clubs\/HC) et CDFM\/Club des Futurs Maris(Future Husbands Clubs\/FHC) – adapt\u00e9 au contexte local de chaque pays.<\/p>\n

Shamsi Kazimbaya, charg\u00e9e de programme principale \u00e0 Equimundo, s’est rendue en Guin\u00e9e, un nouveau pays participant au projet SWEDD, et au Mali, l’un des pays exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s, pour voir ce qui se passait sur le terrain, comment les communaut\u00e9s adoptaient le programme, \u00e9couter leurs r\u00e9cits de changement et comprendre comment les clubs des maris aident les hommes \u00e0 changer les normes pour s’impliquer davantage dans la vie de leur famille. Le voyage avait \u00e9galement pour objectif d’enregistrer les difficult\u00e9s rencontr\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Lors de sa visite en Guin\u00e9e, Shamsi a anim\u00e9 un atelier d’orientation \u00e0 Kindia. Les membres des \u00e9coles de maris traditionnelles, connus localement sous le nom de “Maris Mod\u00e8les”, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9s \u00e0 partager leurs exp\u00e9riences et \u00e0 apprendre en quoi l’approche du CDM\/CDFM diff\u00e9rait de l’approche traditionnelle. Un \u2018\u2019Mari Mod\u00e8le\u2019\u2019, apr\u00e8s les discussions du premier jour, a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 qu’il avait beaucoup \u00e0 apprendre et a imm\u00e9diatement appliqu\u00e9 ses nouvelles connaissances pour am\u00e9liorer la communication avec sa femme, en l’appelant ce soir-l\u00e0 et en remarquant \u00e0 quel point leur communication \u00e9tait diff\u00e9rente et positive – un changement total par rapport \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont il communiquait avec elle auparavant. Lorsqu’il a racont\u00e9 son histoire, tout le monde dans la salle a \u00e9t\u00e9 stup\u00e9fait.<\/p>\n

En Guin\u00e9e, l’atelier comprenait deux activit\u00e9s tir\u00e9es des manuels du CDM : la clarification des valeurs de genre et l’exploration de la dynamique du pouvoir. Ces activit\u00e9s ont r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 qu’alors que les Maris Mod\u00e8les pensaient promouvoir l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes, certaines de leurs pens\u00e9es renfor\u00e7aient involontairement l’in\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes. Par exemple, un \u2018\u2019Mari Mod\u00e8le\u2019\u2019 pensait que les femmes devaient reconna\u00eetre que les hommes \u00e9taient plus intelligents pour maintenir l’harmonie dans le foyer, tandis qu’un autre pensait que l’autonomie financi\u00e8re des femmes causait des probl\u00e8mes et conduisait finalement au divorce.<\/p>\n

Ces observations soulignent l’importance du travail d’Equimundo pour remettre en question les normes traditionnelles en mati\u00e8re de genre dans ces communaut\u00e9s. Par exemple, l’activit\u00e9 “Personnes et choses” (utilis\u00e9e lors de l’atelier en Guin\u00e9e, voir les photos ci-dessus), qui fait partie du programme des clubs de maris, est un exercice puissant, transformateur et parfois \u00e9motionnel, car suscite chez les participants la prise de conscience sur l’existence du pouvoir dans les relations, les aide \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re dont les gens communiquent et d\u00e9montrent leur pouvoir, ainsi qu’\u00e0 son impact. Au cours des discussions qui ont suivi l’exercice, les participants ont r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi au genre et aux relations entre les hommes et les femmes dans leur communaut\u00e9, en \u00e9tablissant des liens entre la fa\u00e7on dont une personne peut se sentir opprim\u00e9e ou trait\u00e9e comme un “objet” dans certaines de ses relations et la fa\u00e7on dont elle peut, \u00e0 son tour, traiter d’autres personnes comme des “objets”. Enfin, il encourage les participants \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re dont ces liens peuvent les motiver \u00e0 construire des relations plus \u00e9quitables avec les femmes de leur foyer et de leur communaut\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La situation au Mali, cependant, offre une image contrast\u00e9e. Les hommes maliens ont fi\u00e8rement racont\u00e9 comment ils ont chang\u00e9 et d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de briser les barri\u00e8res culturelles pour s’impliquer davantage dans la vie de leur famille, en partageant les t\u00e2ches m\u00e9nag\u00e8res avec leurs femmes et en s’occupant de leurs enfants, par exemple.<\/p>\n

Une visite au club des maris du village de Fougani, au Mali, r\u00e9v\u00e8le l’histoire de Modibo, qui d\u00e9crit avec fiert\u00e9 sa transformation en “mari mod\u00e8le” en participant activement aux r\u00f4les traditionnels des femmes, tels que la cuisine. La r\u00e9action de son ami, qui crie “Gnougoutigu\u00e8 Modibo” ou “Modibo, coupeur d’\u00e9pinards”, illustre l’humour et la r\u00e9silience de leur qu\u00eate de changement.<\/p>\n

Les hommes, souvent appel\u00e9s “tiemoussoman” (hommes devenus femmes), ne se laissent pas d\u00e9courager par les \u00e9tiquettes. Ils se concentrent sur l’impact positif qu’ils cr\u00e9ent au sein de leurs familles et de leurs communaut\u00e9s. Les femmes, y compris les \u00e9pouses et les voisines de ces hommes, confirment les changements et leur joie \u00e0 leur sujet et plaident pour l’inscription d’un plus grand nombre d’hommes dans les clubs de maris. En effet, une \u00e9valuation \u00e0 mi-parcours de l’impact de SWEDD dans un autre pays de mise en \u0153uvre, la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que les “Espaces S\u00fbrs” pour les femmes, programme phare de SWEDD, ont plus d’impact lorsqu’ils sont combin\u00e9s avec les CDM et les CDFM.<\/p>\n

En Guin\u00e9e et au Mali, l’\u00e9volution du mari traditionnel au \u2018\u2019mari mod\u00e8le\u2019\u2019 brise les st\u00e9r\u00e9otypes et favorise une nouvelle \u00e8re de masculinit\u00e9 saine et d’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des sexes. Le travail d’Equimundo et de l’UNFPA est une lueur d’espoir pour la cr\u00e9ation d’un monde plus inclusif et harmonieux, et souligne le pouvoir de la collaboration. Les clubs de maris montrent que le changement est possible lorsque les individus remettent en question le statu quo, s’engagent dans la transformation et sur la voie d’un avenir plus \u00e9galitaire.<\/p>\n
