The concept is said to potentially change gender relations. The report showcases the value of feminist social geographies of care. I focus upon three areas where caring masculinities proliferate: transnational policies on care; the circulation of migrant masculinities and expanded modalities of caregiving; and resituating domestic masculinities through caring responsibilities in the home. I argue caring masculinities cannot be reduced to individual men, but if the concept is to be socially transformative it needs to be located through an intersectional feminist care ethic, material structures and progressive care policies.
