This is long overdue.
A new initiative to promote positive masculinity has been launched in the UK in order to “support and respond meaningfully to the diverse experiences of boys”, alongside an academic report that states a need to “address harmful masculine norms”.
The report collects various pieces of research on boyhood and gender – spanning across topics such as mental health, aggression, ‘lad’ culture, relationships and education – ultimately finding that in order to secure a positive future for all young people, gender norms and stereotypes must be addressed from those early years.
“To continue breaking down harmful norms, we crucially need to work in partnership and dialogue with children and young people, being curious about their perspectives and experiences rather than assuming that they need to be ‘fixed’,” it reads. “Participatory, creative and open-ended approaches are required that respect and actively engage them. Critically, as this report underscores, addressing these norms must start early, given gender socialisation is a process that begins before birth. Perhaps most importantly, we must note the potential gains for all young people, including boys, when we work together in gender-just and gender-transformative ways.
