Men and Sexual and Reproductive Health: The Social Revolution

An overview of the state of men’s sexual and reproductive health since the 1994 Cairo Conference is presented. Men’s involvement in contraception and family planning, paternal involvement, and violence toward women are noted. The five articles in this special issue are introduced. The authors conclude, “Cairo gave us our blueprint for action. The examples here [the five articles] give voice to the slow but important progress of engaging men in achieving this vision of true gender equality.”
