Research on Korean men found the belief that men are primary targets of #gender #discrimination showed no link with economic hardship but strong link with perceived #status decline. Change is hard. But losing #privilege is not losing #rights. We are all better off with #humanrights for all.

Thank you Alice MacDonald for taking CARE's call to the heart of Westminster. We need to support women leaders in conflict & crisis.
