To build a truly equitable world, we must understand that gender equality is for everyone, and needs everyone—including boys and men.
Research found boys’ most common fear in sharing complicated feelings with friends is that it would be used against them. Even still,International Women’s Day presents a special chance for the world to celebrate achievements towards gender equality. While we’ve seen great progress for girls and women, we still have a long way to go.
Adhering to stereotypical, harmful gender norms hurts both boys and girls—boys as young as six years old were seen to bother girls in the classroom when encouraged by peers. In older groups, 62 percent of boys reported hearing other boys make sexual comments or jokes about girls at least once a week.
Room to Read and Promundo-U.S. recently partnered to design a curriculum centered around life skills for boys. The program, provided to public school students and supported by teachers, promotes opportunities for boys to discuss, understand and question harmful ideas about manhood, and build positive habits in return.
In Sri Lanka, a group session on puberty, sexuality and health led to the confession that a boy in the sixth grade was verbally and sexually harassing female classmates. Through conversations and mentoring with Room to Read facilitators, the boy admitted that he had been frequently exposed to sexually explicit content, which had negatively impacted the way he was feeling and behaving towards others.
