“The women*s strike draws attention to an issue that concerns everyone. In Baden-Württemberg too, women carry most of the unpaid care work, at the expense of their economic independence and social participation. männer.bw stands in solidarity with the strike and works to ensure that men and fathers take an active role in family life, education and care, while receiving the necessary social and political support.
Equality succeeds when men not only are expected to act but actually do so: provide care, support others, help shape society. For this, we need committed men, new role models, fair structural conditions and policies that understand and promote equality as a shared responsibility. When care work is distributed fairly, everyone in our society benefits.”
Call to Men* – Possibilities of Support! with a statement by Thomas Altgeld, Chair of the Federal Forum Men
