How we understand masculinity is deeply connected to the climate and environmental emergency. Writing for uk.theconversation.com, Michael Joseph Richardson explores the links. Check out the full article here: theconversation.com/why-modern-m... ---
Why modern masculinity is a climate issue. What does masculinity have to do with the climate? A surprising amount.

For example, significant figures in the manosphere combine misogyny with anti-environmentalism. Think Andrew Tate boasting of his fleet of cars and his private jet. And because care is central to climate action, it may be seen as “women’s work”.

Can studying literature be an antidote to #misogyny? A thought-provoking piece in @tesmagazine.bsky.social‬ shares how stories can nurture empathy and emotional literacy. With UK boys in the increasingly choosing STEM over literature, this article says why this trend should shift: buff.ly/D5IMu7l
My issue with this is that in a world of self-styled misogynist influencers, like Andrew Tate, it is more important than ever that boys develop their emotions, build empathy and learn to communicate well.

The study of English literature helps boys to understand character motivations and nuances of behaviour, encouraging them to consider their own feelings and those of others - skills that can help to prevent them from being drawn into the “manosphere”.

🎥 Watch the full webinar “Reaching Men & Boys: Lessons from Powerful Campaigns” on the MenEngage Alliance YouTube. 📲 Link in bio to read all 7 tips. 👀 Keep an eye on the MenEngage Alliance social media for future #CoLab sessions!
Presenting alternative narratives.
Showcasing positive examples of masculinity empowers change and solidifies men’s role in advancing gender justice. 
Rather than positioning men as 
‘problems to be fixed,’ presenting alternatives
 enables men to see themselves as 
vital, active, and accountable 
participants in changing gender norms. 
Saswati Chatterjee and David Garzon.Building creative partnerships grounded in transformative values.
Creative alliances that harness the influence of film, music, and digital media can significantly
amplify the reach and impact of gender justice work, and are most
effective when grounded in transformative values.
- From CoLab session with Saswati Chatterjee and David GarzonMaking gender conversations inclusive.
Campaigns that reflect diverse lived experiences and expansive understandings of gender create space for more nuanced conversations 
about power, privilege,
and stronger allyship.
- From CoLab session with Saswati Chatterjee and David GarzonNavigating backlash: Embracing constructive conflict.
Navigating backlash and embracing constructive disagreement can create opportunities for learning and highlight where audiences may need more clarity.
Asking questions like, “What about this post upset you? Let’s talk about why,” often revealed that beneath the anger were real concerns—and at times, a willingness to reflect. - Saswati Chatterjee

Pushback against #GenderEquality is real. The "war on men" narrative is radicalizing young men online. How do we inspire boys & men to become allies for #GenderJustice? 💡🧵 7 tips from #MenEngageCoLab w/ Saswati Chatterjee (Breakthrough) & David Garzon (White Ribbon). #masculinity
7 tips for calling men and boys in on gender equality through comms & campaignsAuthenticity is key. Authenticity means basing campaign content on topics that genuinely resonate with young men. On ”organic conversations” rather than messaging that feels forced or contrived - Saswati Chatterjee.
Addressing relevant topics and making them relatable has been key when making campaigns to call in
men and boys for gender equality - David Garzon.Storytelling is important.
Storytelling that hits close to home can make a campaign powerful.
"Looking at the diversity of what storytelling is and what it can look like is very key," - David Garzon.
White Ribbon finds it important to address
the current rise in radicalisation,
anti-feminist sentiments and the growing influence of the manosphere using upfront storytelling.Meeting men and boys where they are.
To effectively reach young men, gender justice messaging should be present
 on the platforms they use every day. 
 Leveraging digital media is not just about
 reaching a demographic—it’s about 
understanding their world:
 “What are they watching? 
What formats do they like?
 What are the issues that they care about?" Saswati Chatterjee.

In #Zambia, gender-transformative initiatives and actions are engaging teenage boys to prevent gender-based violence and build a more equal and just society. Read here: buff.ly/0GCwkck #GenderBasedViolence #Masculinity #GenderEquality
Boys' workshops help Zambia move closer to gender equality
In Zambia, where traditionally men held the most power and authority, more people are confronting cultural norms to try and break the cycle of gender inequality.

Our reporter Karen Creed and camera man Brian Walsh travelled to Lusaka, supported by the Simon Cumbers Media Fund, to find out how certain initiatives and actions are helping to improve daily life for women and girls.

Under the sweltering heat of the midday sun, a group of boys and young men are dancing, rapping and singing.

It is part of an energising warm-up before their weekly Men of Honour meeting.

There are around 40 of them attending this workshop in a suburb of Lusaka which is centred on teaching them why women and girls should have the same rights as them.

Peter Mukuka, the Founder and Chief Executive of Men of Honour, shares the importance of creating a safe space as discussions at times can be uncomfortable.
