Jens van Tricht

Jens van Tricht founded Emancipator in 2013, encouraged by a rally call from women's organizations for male commitment, and inspired by the MenEngage Global Alliance, a worldwide network of organizations that work with boys and men on gender equality. And together with all kinds of men who were already individually working on various themes around male emancipation. Emancipator was going to connect all of that. "Emancipator came about because it had to."

After being director for 13 years, Jens is now elder in the organisation.

Jens studied (at the time) women's studies in Amsterdam, and lives in Amsterdam.
