12 AREAS OF MALE DISADVANTAGE: FROM NATIONAL ADVOCACY TO GLOBAL ACTION 🌍 For decades, courageous thought leaders, researchers, writers and advocates have highlighted the disadvantages, vulnerabilities and challenges experienced by men and boys. Important milestones include the UK's Manifesto Challenge (2013), championed by Glen Poole, and Cassie Jaye's groundbreaking documentary The Red Pill (2016). Building upon this pioneering work, the International Council for Men and Boys (ICMB) has taken male advocacy to a new level: a comprehensive, evidence-based framework addressing 12 major disparities worldwide. In March 2024, ICMB launched its global #GenderEqualityForMen campaign, identifying major areas requiring recognition and reform. Following some refinements, the 12 Disparity Framework now encompasses: 1.Education 2.Health 3.Boys 4.False Allegations / Parental Alienation 5.Victims of Violence 6.Fatherhood 7.Criminal System 8.Partner Abuse 9.Homelessness 10.Workplace 11.Adoption and Reproductive 12.Media TODAY MARKS ANOTHER HISTORIC MILESTONE 🚀 On 12 November 2026, ICMB launches its inaugural Global State of Men and Boys Report 2026. Drawing upon detailed analyses covering more than 50 countries, seven case studies, plus a wide range of research and evidence, this landmark assessment examines the 12 Disparities, identifies institutional shortcomings, and proposes practical solutions. What distinguishes ICMB is its global reach, comprehensive framework and coordinated international advocacy, supported by a network of 1,200 organisations and individuals across 100 countries. Our ambition isn’t to diminish women's achievements, but to ensure that men and boys are never overlooked in the pursuit of Genuine Gender Equality. The 12 Disparity Framework aligns closely with the theme for International Men’s Day 2026: The Future Is Everyone. 🌐 menandboys.net/ #GenderEqualityForMen #ICMB #MenAndBoys #InternationalMensDay #TheFutureIsEveryone @menandboysnet
