This leaflet is a mapping of Save the children’s role and work in promoting the engagement of fathers. It presents some of the evidence of the benefits of involving fathers and some of the strategies used by the organization and others. Among the benefits highlighted:
- As fathers get more involved and share the care and domestic work burden, women’s economic empowerment advances.
- As fathers get involved, maternal health-related outcomes improve.
- As fathers get more involved from the start, there are better child development outcomes.
- As caregiving goes up, violence against women and children goes down.
- As caregiving goes up, men’s mental and physical health improves.
