Man gets equal blog (UK)

I have long believed that men and boys need a national champion to advocate for their needs and shine a light on the inequalities that they experience. Why? Because if you really care about equality – whatever that means to you personally – then surely you will want to know where inequality exists and be reassured that something is being done to tackle that inequality. Yet over the years of working with various issues relating to men and boys I have found time and time again that the many inequalities that men and boys experience – in health, education, housing, criminal justice, social justice and so – are all too often hidden, denied or simply ignored – often by the very people who claim to be the champions of equality. Which is why I believe men and boys need their own distinct and positive voice, highlighting the inequalities the experience and the solutions that would help tackle those inequalities and make the world a much better place for every man, woman, girl and boy.
