Members of the interactive community are expected to support the core principles of Engaging Men in Gender Equality Interactive Community:

• Gender as relational: Men, along with women, should be engaged in achieving gender equality and in advancing the rights, health and well-being of women and girls.
  
• Questioning men’s violence against women: We are dedicated to engaging men and boys to end violence against women and in questioning or challenging violent versions of manhood.
  
• Promoting existing UN mandates: We are dedicated to engaging men and boys to fulfill the mandates, statements of action, and principles of ICPD, CEDAW and CSW statements (48th session), and CRC and working collectively to encourage governments to do the same.
  
• Engaging men as caregivers: We are dedicated to promoting more equitable participation by men and boys in caregiving, the care of children and domestic tasks.
  
• Working as allies with existing women’s rights processes: We are committed to working as allies with women and women’s rights organizations to achieve equality for women and girls.
  
• Sexual diversity and sexual rights: We are dedicated to promoting cultures of masculinities that respect sexual diversity and sexual and reproductive rights of all, and that engage men so that reproductive health and contraception are more evenly shared between men and women.
  
• The vulnerabilities of men: We believe that the specific needs and experiences of men and boys have often not been well understood nor taken into account in the development of public policy or professional practice across a wide range of areas. We believe that some men and boys are made vulnerable by non-equitable and violent versions of manhood.
