What Do Men Have to Do With it?

“Why isn’t there a Global Fund for Men?”

I have been asked this questions several times throughout my tenure at the Global Fund for Women, most recently on this blog.

One needs only to look at the state of the world to realize that there are very good reasons to focus resources on women and girls. For example:

• 70% of the 1.3 billion people who live in extreme poverty, on less than one dollar a day, are women and girls.
  75% of the worldÂ’s 876 million illiterate adults are women.
  While women are 51% of the worldÂ’s population, they hold only 17% of seats in legislative bodies worldwide. Women represent only 15% of Senators and Representatives in the United States.

Worldwide, research demonstrates that ensuring equality and justice, and unlocking womenÂ’s potential, is to the benefit of everyone.

“Study after study has shown that there is no effective development strategy in which women do not play a central role. When women are fully involved, the benefits can be seen immediately–families are healthier and better fed, their income, savings and reinvestment go up.” –Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General

There is a Global Fund for Women because:

• Only 6.7% of US philanthropic dollars go to support programs and projects specifically targeted to reach women and girls.
  Investing in womenÂ’s health and education means that her children stand a much higher chance of surviving childhood, and living more successful lives.
  Women are leaders in rebuilding community in the aftermath of war and in preventing conflicts from building up or exploding in violence.

Being “pro-women” does not make you “anti-men.” Women struggling to overcome systematic discrimination are not waging a war against fathers or husbands, priests or mullahs, factory owners or landlords. Instead, they seek changes in a system that traps both men and women in roles that limit and prevent them from achieving their fullest human potential.

What is striking about women’s movements, particularly in the developing world, is how closely they work with and rely on male allies in their struggle. As a Zapotec woman working to end domestic violence in her village said to me some years ago in Oaxaca, Mexico, “we explained to the men that if they beat us we cannot be strong and they need us to be strong so that we can stand next to them and support them as their partners. We do not try to be strong against them – we want to be strong for them and for us”.

At the Global Fund for Women, we too count on numerous men and boys as valued supporters and advocates of our work. This summer we look forward to welcoming young man from Zimbabwe who will work with us as an intern. Yesterday, I responded to a member of a local fraternity that wishes to organize a fundraiser for us. Men support us on many levels as individuals, as friends, as colleagues, and as their sisters, partners, daughters and moms. They are delighted that the Global Fund for Women exists because they see that investing in women benefits all of us. I like to quote Steve Merrill, one of the Global Fund’s long term donors. He says simply, “As I see it, investing in women is not simply the “moral or just” thing to do, but also the smartest investment you can make if you want to achieve more democratic, economically viable, and socially sustainable countries around the world.

So, refering to one part of it,

Quote from karl

Only 6.7% of US philanthropic dollars go to support programs and projects specifically targeted to reach women and girls.

Ok, sounds likely. But governments were told female specific medical funding was fractions too. Suddenly, everyone jumped around scurrying to create women's departments and women specific medical facilities.
What they 'forgot' to mention, was the male specific funding was considerably LESS than that of female-specific...before they set up women-only departments. So, with that in mind - i ask you this:
If only 6.7% of US philanthropic dollars go to support programs and projects specifically targeted to reach women and girls, how - using the same equations to find your answer - is specifically targeted to reach men & boys?
I'm betting it's less than 6.7%.
