“Men in the XXIst Century” WEBINAR-20 march 2025-12h00-13h15 CET
A Comprehensive Approach to Gender Equality-Roundtable
As we mark the first quarter of the 21st century, a crucial voice has been notably absent from gender equality discussions: men’s perspectives and experiences. While progress has been made in advancing women’s rights and opportunities, it’s time to examine men’s views in the ongoing journey towards gender equality.
We seek to highlight the stories of men who have embraced true partnerships with their wives, navigating the complexities of balancing career ambitions, childcare responsibilities, and household management. Their stories reveal how parental roles are evolving, from fathers taking parental leave to couples making joint decisions about career moves.

As Brian Page, founder of Modern Husbands, aptly notes: “Life and family change, and my priorities now are to support my wife’s career ambitions and my children’s needs.” Such perspectives illustrate that the path to true gender equality requires active participation and commitment from both women and men, as well as a transformation in how we approach partnership and family life.

Testimonials
A huge THANK YOU to our members for making this movement a success.
Inmaculada Antúnez… The face of an extraordinary woman
Inmaculada Antúnez… When ‘Be wicked, be brave’ is the novel of a true life
A woman, military officer, commander of the Armed Forces, doctor in human rights, author of the novel ‘Be wicked, be brave’, expert in jihadist financing.
We can say that Inmaculada Antúnez, today’s protagonist in Mujeres Valientes, is one of the most respected voices in the field, as she is one of the people who knows the most about ‘financing international terrorism and its impact on security and defence’, as she titled her thesis, published just a few months ago.
Inmaculada Antúnez has been the only woman to hold the position of Head of Resources and Finance for the European Union Commission in Somalia.
What strikes us most about her professional and life trajectory is the perfect interweaving that has made her the woman she is. A knot that is impossible to separate and that has led to a book that has been a catharsis for her.
‘Sé malvada, sé valiente’, published by Editorial Media Luna, is the result of a total liberation because she has been able to overcome a part of her childhood to forge a professional path that has led her to discover the woman she has become and is.
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare,
it is because we do not dare that things are difficult”
– Lucius Annaeus Seneca
