State of the World’s Fathers 2015 – Child rights perspective

This report is based on the State of the World’s Fathers report, which captures data, policies, programmes, and research related to boys and men’s participation in caregiving and fatherhood, maternal, new-born, and child health, and violence prevention. This report brings together the components related to child rights and gender equality.

By presenting this perspective, the report defines a global advocacy agenda for child rights and other organizations on engaging boys and men to dedicate an equal share in the unpaid care-work throughout the child’s life-cycle and on promoting gender equality and other positive outcomes in the lives of girls, boys, and young people – including fathers themselves.
