International Men’s Day – November !
I am often challenged ‘Why do we need specific campaigns for Men’s Health?’ I direct them to the research this campaign aims to raise awareness of:
– The high male suicide rate
– The challenges faced by boys and men at all stages of education and work including attainment, re-training, stress, redundancy and unemployment
– Men’s health (including male cancers), shorter life expectancy, body image and workplace deaths – plus the health impact of Covid-19
– The challenges faced by the most marginalised men and boys in society – for instance, homeless men, boys in care, school excluded boys and the high rate of male deaths in custody
– Male victims of violence and crime – for instance, bullying, sexual violence, gang violence, and, those coerced into county lines and other criminal activity
– The challenges faced by men as parents, particularly new fathers and separated fathers
– Male victims and survivors of sexual abuse, rape, sexual exploitation, domestic abuse, forced marriage, honour-based crime, stalking, online image-abuse, sextortion and modern slavery
