Boys & Men Festival in Rio

Together Women Rise Transformation Partner, Equimundo, is co-hosting the MenCare Changemaker Summit in Rio. Join them on day three of the summit for The Boys & Men Festival, a bold gathering of art, music, movement, and urgent conversation exploring men, care, and the futures we are shaping together without shying away from some of the more difficult conversations around male violence.

Programmed in partnership with world-leading festival makers WOW – Women of the World, across performances, live music, workshops, football pop-ups, drumming and powerful public dialogues, artists, activists, thinkers and communities come together to question inherited ideas of masculinity and imagine new ones rooted in care, responsibility, and connection. From global voices to favela-based leadership, from humour and culture to faith, policy, and protest, the Mencare festival holds space for reflection, joy, accountability, and collective energy.
