Research shows that fathers who are close to their children become
happier, more empathetic individuals and engage in
less risk behaviors.
Children with positive male role models in their
lives become safe and secure adults.

Change?
Yes, We Can!
“Nothing is more contagious than example, and no man does any exceeding good or
exceeding ill but it spawns new deeds of the same kind.”
Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)
PROJECT GOALS:
1. Engaging Men in Achieving Gender Equality =
More Gender Equity Globally
2. Promoting Positive Male Role Models for Men & Young Boys =
Strenghten a Positive Male Role
3. “Win/Win” for All:
* Better Life Quality - Women, Children & Men
* Less Violence
* Better Health
* Social, Peace and Economic Developments.
WHY is this exhibit important?
To create long-term, sustainable change, it is necessary to work on removing
“core problems” - which only can be done by changing attitudes and consciousness.
WHY should I support it?
Rather than putting band-aids on the symptoms, Hope Exhibits works to change attitudes that lead to behavioral
change
-with the potential of creating real and lasting positive change.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLES:
Instead of building more prisons for gang members...
Let us reduce the need by giving young boys more positive role models to look up to and
emulate.
Rather than building more women’s shelters for victims of physical and sexual violence...
Let us change negative gender attitudes and work to halt the violence.
Rather than building more treatment centers for victims of armed conflicts,
or for HIV patients...
Let us create a more peaceful society.
Let us work preventatively with HIV/aids.
Let us work for more gender equity.
Rather than building more children’s homes for AIDS orphans and abandoned children...
Let us create a better chance for the next generation to grow up with present and
healthy parents.
Rather than focusing on what’s wrong with the world,
and what’s not working...
Let us focus on what’s RIGHT with the world, and create more of the same
- more GOOD.

"I think it's a good idea. We hear a lot about mothers and kids here but not
much about fathers.
It's encouraging dads to be involved with their families - and stop HIV too."

Now I want to help others.”

The boxing club “Luta Pela Paz” is located in the Favelas of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
Marco (grey T-shirt) started training and studying there as a young boy.
He now trains other youth.
The club successfully keeps youngsters from a street life of gangs
and drugs. It also gives both the young boys and the older trainers a
place of purpose, joy and hope.
