La Red de Masculinidad por la Igualdad de Género (REDMAS), a
coalition of over 20 organizations in Nicaragua working on masculinity and
gender issues with boys and men, is reponsible for the popular “Que tuani no
ser machista” and “Ganale a las ganas” campaigns. REDMAS also coordinates
MenCare Nicaragua, which launched a “Vos sos mi papa” campaign that recently
placed as a finalist in the 2014 Avon Communications Awards.
The Campaña de
Paternidad, or Fatherhood Campaign, included posters, handouts, t-shirts
and even baseball caps with messages encouraging men to be involved in
parenting their children in a way that shows respectful and non-violent
relationships between men and women.
Here’s one of the posters from the campaign:
