Photography Contest on Different Images of Men
ActionAid Bangladesh has organized a National Photography Competition on Unpaid Care Work (UCW) titled “Different Images of Men” to exhibit and encourage men to be engaged in household care work. The photographs will address issues of family relationships, class and shifting gender roles in innovative ways to speak to larger national topics of changing demographics, care work, migration and changing family structures in our society.

-----------------------------
The dominant social norms and practice is women are disproportionally responsible for UCW which include child care, cooking, household chores and caring for adult and sick persons care. But there are many men who regularly perform UCW at home. We want to explore this role of man and showcase through photography to encourage others. It is our hope that this initiative highlighting men performing tasks that are usually associated as “women’s work”, would acknowledge the reality that many men actively provide care in their families, generate discussions and make possible a more equal distribution of care work between men and women in our societies.
Note:
• ActionAid Bangladesh will hold the copyright of selected photography to reproduce in different format.
