Men's Affairs
The core issues of a progressive policy for men are: promoting awareness for equal partnerships, active fatherhood, forming a positive male identity among boys and young men, men's health, speaking out against violence by boys and men, the further development of male role models as well as offering a service for concerns specific to men.
The Department for Men's Policy Issues in the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection is characterised above all by a contemporary attitude to the current needs of men in the sense of a progressive equality policy. The further development of male role models is a great challenge, both in relation to increased participation by fathers in bringing up children and fundamentally in families and partnerships.
As a coordinated gender policy which is orientated towards the needs of men and women can only be carried out in coordination with other policy-making bodies, there is cooperation with other ministries, the provinces and also with organisations and associations which are relevant to policy on men.
