The main goal of this paper is to present contemporary men’s initiatives aimed at increasing gender equality in Europe. The particular phenomena will be analyzed in three main dimensions: transnational networks, national umbrella networks and national groups and organizations. The vast majority of the paper’s findings are based on the results of the European research project “Role of men in gender equality” (EC PROGRESS Programmed) conducted in 2011 and 2012 in 31 European countries and framed with the usage of the MA’AM typology of contemporary men’s social movements developed within the critical men and masculinities studies approach.
