#GenderEqualityForMen
Our society is imperiled by its long-standing neglect of men, fathers, and boys. Marriage rates are falling, fertility is plummeting, and productivity is faltering, in large part because of the societal neglect of men. As a result, men are now lagging in 12 major areas, from educational attainment, to health status, and many more areas.
Fortunately, this decades-long crisis is beginning to reverse itself as lawmakers and governments around the world have begun to:
- Speak out on the dire situation facing men
- Establish national men’s bureaus
- Develop national strategies for men’s health
- Establish policies to curb false allegations
- Create “She for He” and other female-led initiatives
The International Council for Men and Boys is a leader in the global movement to assure gender equality for all. The Council sponsors Men’s Equality Month, observed in November, and International Men’s Day on November 19.
