Abstract

ABSTRACT
NOWADAYS, THE EXISTENCE AND PROLIFIC PRODUCTION OF NEW WAYS OF BEING A MAN IS THE SUBJECT OF DEBATE. THIS COMPLEX PROCESS CANNOT BE ANALYZED WITHOUT THE NGOs INVOLVEMENT IN MASCULINITY, SINCE THEY HAVE REGARDED THIS ISSUE AS A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY OBJECTIVE IN THEIR SOCIAL INTERVENTION ACTIONS. THIS ARTICLE ALSO INCLUDES AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE INFORMATION POSTED IN FIVE LATIN AMERICAN NGOs WEBSITES. THESE ANALYSES DISCLOSE A NUMBER OF RELEVANT QUESTIONS AND DISPUTED POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN DEALING WITH THE PRODUCTION OF MASCULINITY.
KEY WORDS: GENDER, MASCULINITIES, NGOs
