Men in Chili are breaking down gender stereotypes by knitting. The group called Hombres Tejedores translates as "Knitting men" and they meet to knit together in public spaces.
Their campaign #NosGustaTejer (we like to knit) raises money to hold workshops around the country. The campaign is growing with new groups setting up in Argentina, Mexico and Columbia. Their aim is to "weave together a more inclusive society and to promote inclusive spaces.
