The week begins with Promundo's anniversary . Promundo is another civil society organization that was born in the 90s, a period of latent democracy in Brazilian society, which required active participation from organized civil society. Promundo was born with the mission of giving new meaning to masculinities to transform boys and men into allies for gender equality, and thus create a world free from gender-based violence. This is Promundo’s mission and will continue to be so.

Over just over two decades, Promundo has accumulated relevant contributions to the Brazilian and global context. Thousands of professionals were trained in Promundo methodologies, Programs H (for men), M (for women) and P (for paternity) born in the first decade of the year 2000, created, tested, evaluated and endorsed. In the organization's second decade of operation, other programs were created based on the concepts of previously created methodologies.

Throughout its existence, Promundo works together with other institutional partners, understanding that it is necessary to continue acting as a network, with a view to advancing actions and projects reaching populations that need institutional methodological interventions. The work developed with other partners also represents the complementarity of the methodology. Recognition of partners' strengths has always been an important element of Promundo.

The organization has revised itself in recent years. The creation of the online Program P; the updated review of Program M; strengthening Program J; will prepare and launch the Report on the Situation of Black Paternities in Brazil; strengthening the issue of Paternity on the national Public Policy agenda; in addition to other news that will still be revealed in the coming months, they point out that Promundo is preparing for its 25th anniversary and the next decades to come! This is not the time to celebrate! It is time to look at history, become stronger and continue the fight for Human Rights.

Promundo is very grateful to everyone who has passed through the organization, giving their contributions and inviting all people who want to contribute to come forward, as our cause is very current and necessary.
