The Observatory Masculinidades.pt - Stemming from the commitment to creating a non-violent and caring future, and promoting social justice in Portugal, the Observatory Masculinidades.pt, rooted in interdisciplinary feminist perspectives, proposes to develop new forms of involvement of academia, professionals from different areas (education, health, peace and violence studies, arts, culture, and media), and different audiences in initiatives that contribute to intersectional dialogues and critical reflection on masculinities as structuring expressions of the gender order and social relations. In its courses of action — research, training, science communication, and involvement between science and society at large—, the Observatory contributes to the development of programs that transform conceptions of masculinity, and to the analysis and promotion of inclusive and innovative public policies in Portugal.
