Welcome to “Equimundo in the Press,” a monthly recap of media that mention Equimundo or MenCare, the global fatherhood campaign that Equimundo co-coordinates. This past June, Equimundo launched the State of the World’s Fathers (SOWF) 2019 report, revealing new data and analysis from over 40 countries, and recommendations to close the unpaid care gap.
