Abstract

The Platform of Cuban Men for the Non-violence and Gender Equity is a group created in 2011 and integrated by men from different areas of social interaction. This program of action performs systematic activities inside the platform that lead to its strengthening, visualisation and development, at the time that radiate and maintain from their fields of action (community, religious, academic, agricultural-rural, communicative-cultural, legal and public order and social welfare) a work of influence in their territorial spaces through mini projects with a serious and sustained work in favour of equity and non-violence. The actions of the platform contribute to contextualize and illustrate the value of the participation of men in transformative processes.
