Abstract
Examples of public policies in four domains are presented that are useful in understanding policies around masculinity in Latin America: a) childrearing and childcare; b) the field of men’s health; c) addressing and preventing male violence; and d) sexual diversity. The purpose of this is to illustrate the current state of policies around masculinity in the region. Progress has been made in terms of such policies and programs, although this is still an emerging field with much work remaining toward achieving gender equality.
