In a reflection on the role of gender, the idea is raised that equality is not achieved solely through the efforts of women, but that a transformation in male behavior and conceptions is also needed. Men are urged to evolve and to teach values of respect and equity, rather than continuing with stereotypes that limit both genders.
Alarming statistics are mentioned that underline the importance of reevaluating traditional masculinity, highlighting that many men are also affected by the pressures and expectations imposed by this social construct. The need to open spaces for young people to actively engage in politics and be agents of change from an early age is emphasized.
It is emphasized that politics should not be exclusive to a few, but a tool at the service of all society. Men are invited to join the transformation process, to question learned norms, and to actively participate in building a fairer and more equal future.
