Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, known for their advocacy of various causes, including gender equality, have shown their support for a new report. With the Duchess of Sussex’s 42nd birthday approaching, the couple was thrilled to contribute to the release of a report by Equimundo, a charity that aims to engage men and boys as allies in achieving gender equality. The report, which surveyed 17 countries, revealed a growing number of men participating in childcare responsibilities.
Archewell, their organization, confirmed their support for Equimundo’s report on their website. The report highlights that men are increasingly involved in caregiving and express a desire to increase their involvement at home. However, deep-seated social norms, lack of supportive policies, and power structures discourage them from doing so. Recognizing care work as the foundation of society, the report calls for continuous progress towards gender equality. It emphasizes the importance of media representation that normalizes men’s roles in caregiving. Archewell expressed pride in supporting the report and Equimundo’s ongoing efforts to promote gender equality worldwide.
