From Voice Male Weekly:
In gender justice work, we stand on shoulders of those before us. For 40+ years, Voice Male has been a cornerstone of the pro-feminist men's movement, documenting the journey & lifting up voices that challenge the status quo.

🧡 Mental wellness isn't just talked about—it's lived
🧡 Anti-bullying isn't just a policy—it's community culture
🧡 Peer support isn't just available—it's the everyday reality
When boys have positive corners of the internet where they belong, everyone wins.

From Voice Male Weekly:
The #algorithm is raising our #boys & what it's teaching them isn't what we hoped. 73% of teen boys see "digital masculinity" content—fighting, muscles, money. 68% never searched for it.
Boys aren't looking for this. They're seeking answers.

True psychological safety = authentic self-expression, vulnerability, real participation. Not just communication policies.

Psychological safety isn't just about speaking up—it's about showing up authentically.
NGM's Trevor Mayoh says: We need spaces where men & boys can express vulnerability, participate as themselves, not perform who they think they should be.

From Voice Male Weekly - NGM In The Wild
Last week, our youth program coordinator, Ali, headed to a gaming café with some boys in our #Discord server.
Sometimes the best conversations happen in unexpected places & there's nothing like a good gaming session to bring people together.
