Short Summary
|
What are the links between fatherhood and poverty? What can be done to change gender patterns of behaviour around parenthood? This programme on Reproductive Education and Responsible Fatherhood, carried out by the Mexican office of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), explores the social and economic factors which prohibit men from being responsible fathers. It also addresses the implications this has on women's economical and emotional status and on their children's well-being, such as lower levels of education, earlier insertion into the labour force, high levels of malnutrition and childhood illnesses, and teenage pregnancies. This resource includes country reports on reproductive education and responsible fatherhood in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, and a regional report summing up the findings of the country reports. It also includes a training manual to support trainers in developing and running capacity building initiatives in key social sectors and institutions and a document making a first attempt to design indicators of responsible fatherhood to measure the implementation of initiatives in public policies. This Document is available in Spanish.
