"What I'm seeing here is this absolutely amazing paradox. We live in a world of men's power, where just by the virtue of birth, half of us have certain privileges, but at the same time, the ways that we have traditionally defined men's lives comes with a huge cost." - Michael Kaufman

At work and home, the gender equality revolution is critical for the advancement of women. However, today's Finding Brave guest makes the case that this movement is also a great gift for men. There's a paradox of men's power that exists in this male-dominated world, but significant changes are being made to address the challenges it presents.

He is the co-founder of White Ribbon Campaign, a Senior Fellow with Promundo based in Washington DC, and last year was the only male member of Justin Trudeau's G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council The author of eight books, including two novels, Michael's newest book is The Time Has Come: Why Men Must Join the Gender Equality Revolution. You'll learn why having an having an open dialogue around gender equality is critical, but we must find positive ways to reach out to men to be part of the gender equality movement. As our expert guest shares, changes are happening that will positively affect not only this generation of men and women, but our children and future generations to come.
