Men Care: A Global Fatherhood Campaign
The MenCare “You Are My Father” poster templates are designed for use by programs around the world that:
- Support fathers’ active participation in caregiving and supportive activities throughout the planning, pregnancy, birth and parenting stages;
- Encourage fathers’ involvement in the daily care of their children and the equal distribution of domestic affairs;
- Promote fathers’ participation in any family composition: heterosexual, gay or lesbian parents, couples who are together or separate, parents living with their children or not, birth parents, adoptive or social;
- Support gender equality: equal value and rights of men and women;
- Oppose any form of violence against women and children.
