Men for Gender Equality Now (MEGEN) is a society of men and women activists, who engage in community sensitization and education work, advocacy and campaigning to challenge unequal power relations between men and women, transform harmful masculinities into positive ones and put an end to Gender Based Violence (GBV).

MEGEN was started by the African Women's Development and Communications Network - FEMNET as a way of reaching out to men and involving them in the fight against GBV and for a more gender equal world.

Since its inception in December 2001, MEGEN has reached out to thousands of men and women in Kenya, assisting them to understand the importance of ending GBV and realizing gender equality in order to create healthy and loving relationships within the family and the community.

In 2010 MEGEN was registered as an independent national non-governmental organization with over 250 active members, working in 20 counties across Kenya.
