About

Equimundo Bylines is a space for reflection, analysis, and storytelling at the intersection of boys, men, and masculinities.

Published by Equimundo, the global leader in engaging men and boys to advance gender equality, this Substack explores what it means to grow up, live, and lead as men in a rapidly changing world, and why masculinities matter for everyone.

Here, we unpack the cultural norms shaping boys’ and men’s lives, highlight emerging research, and offer grounded perspectives on the policies, movements, and everyday realities influencing masculinities today.

Why Subscribe?

Because conversations about masculinity are everywhere, but thoughtful, evidence-based ones are harder to find.

For over two decades, Equimundo has partnered with feminist leaders, gender-based violence prevention advocates, and men and boys organizations worldwide to challenge harmful gender norms and support expansive and equitable masculinities.

Subscribing means you’ll get smart, accessible writing that helps make sense of the headlines, challenges assumptions, and sparks new ways of thinking about gender, power, care, and identity.
