Redefining Reality: The Role of Men in Achieving Gender Equality and Women Empowerment

Abstract

This article examines the critical role of men in achieving gender equality and women's empowerment, exploring how men can redefine traditional gender roles and act as allies in this essential societal transformation. While much focus has been placed on women’s roles in advocating for gender equality, this research highlights how men’s active participation is equally vital in reshaping societal norms, challenging stereotypes, and fostering a culture of respect and equity. By addressing historical contexts, literary representations, and contemporary practices, this article argues that men’s involvement is indispensable for meaningful progress towards a more just and equitable society.
