SUMMARY:King's College London - Research on an Emerging Divide?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\n\nYoung people’s attitudes to gender and the challenges facing both women and men\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\nThe Hon Julia Gillard AC\, former Prime Minister of Australia and Chair of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership\, King’s College London (chair)\nLee Chambers\, Founder of Male Allies UK\nProfessor Bobby Duffy\, Director of the Policy Institute\, King’s College London\nGideon Skinner\, Senior Director\, UK Politics\, Ipsos\nProfessor Heejung Chung\, Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership\, King’s College London\n\nPrevious research from the Policy Institute\, Global Institute for Women’s Leadership and Ipsos UK has highlighted signs of an emerging gender divide in how young men and women view issues such as feminism\, masculinity and equality. \nAs new data from 2025 is released\, this event will explore how these attitudes are evolving – and what they mean for the future of gender relations in the UK and beyond. \nWhile much attention is rightly focused on the persistent challenges facing women\, men too face significant issues – from higher suicide rates and educational disengagement to evolving expectations around masculinity and mental health. \nThese parallel struggles suggest gender equality is not a zero-sum game – it instead requires us to address the challenges facing everyone. Rather than deepening divisions\, we need constructive conversation and meaningful action to bridge any gender divides\, while not losing sight of the significant common ground that exists across these debates. \nHeld on International Men’s Day\, this discussion will unpack the latest findings and consider how social\, cultural and online influences are shaping this generation’s outlook on gender and identity – and how we can move toward solutions that work for everyone. \n\n\n\n\n\nShow less\nCategory: Government\, Non-partisan

SUMMARY:Future Men Conference: Who is Raising our Boys?
DESCRIPTION:The Future Is Everyone: But Who is Raising our Boys?\n\n\nA Future Men event for International Men’s Day 2026 \n\n\n\n\nFourteen men take their own lives every day in the UK. \nBoys are one and a half times more likely to be suspended from school than girls\, and more than twice as likely to be permanently excluded. Almost eight in ten say they have no clear idea what it means to be a man today. \nFor a growing number of boys\, the answer is coming from a screen. An algorithm. A stranger in a comment section telling them who to blame and who to become. For others it’s a teacher who has run out of patience\, a system that was never built with them in mind\, or nobody at all. And for some\, it’s still a father\, a coach\, a mentor. A man who turned up\, and kept turning up. \nThis International Men’s Day\, Future Men is coming back to QPR to put that question to a room full of people who can actually answer it: who is raising our boys? \nLast year we started a conversation. This year we follow it all the way through\, from the classroom to the changing room to the family home\, with the people doing the work and the evidence to prove it. \nWhat the day looks like \nAdemola Adeyeba\, founder of 1000 Black Boys and Chair of Black Men for Change\, opens the day with the question at the heart of it all- ‘who is raising our boys?’. \nPablo Blackwood\, Race and Ethnicity Lead at QPR\, explores what football has taught him about identity and belonging\, and what happens to a boy who never finds somewhere he belongs. \nFuture Men’s Chris Stein and Ann Cayenne lead a hands on workshop built from years of running our Boys Development Programme in London schools\, sharing fresh findings from our independently evaluated randomised controlled trial\, funded by the Youth Endowment Fund\, on what actually changes a boy’s path. \nLeon Thompson shares his short film\, My Own Worst Enemy\, a raw look at fatherhood\, healing and family. \nSixteen year old writer and commentator Josh Sargent\, who encountered the manosphere himself as a young teenager\, asks the question most people avoid. Not whether online role models are good or bad\, but what they’re giving boys that the rest of us aren’t.

SUMMARY:Stronger Together Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Stronger Together Conference 2026 by Male Allies UK\, hosted at NatWest: a full-day national conference building bridges through allyship. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/stronger-together-conference-2026-tickets-1994916228140?discount=EARLY-LEE-50 \n\n\n\n\nStronger Together: Building Bridges\nOn Friday 20 November\, Male Allies UK\, led by CEO Lee Chambers\, will bring 250 delegates together at NatWest\, Bishopsgate\, for a full-day national conference built around one shared belief: a future that works for everyone cannot be built by asking people to retreat into separate corners. \nTimed alongside International Men’s Day and its global theme\, The Future Is Everyone\, Stronger Together will combine new State of Allyship research from Ipsos with lived experience\, storytelling and practical participation. \nThis is not a day of short corporate statements or passive panels. Attendees will help shape the questions\, explore how bridges are built across genuine difference\, and connect workplace action with what sport\, family\, media\, community and public life can teach us about belonging. \nEvery participant will leave with practical ideas\, valuable new relationships\, a conference workbook and a written 90-day commitment designed to turn intention into action. \nLimited early-bird delegate places are now available. \n\n\n\n\nWhy This Conference\, Why Now\nTimed alongside International Men’s Day 2026 and its global theme\, The Future Is Everyone\, Stronger Together creates a national space for a more hopeful and practical conversation. \nMale Allies UK will bring together employees\, networks\, leaders\, partners\, public institutions\, future leaders and voices from beyond the usual corporate circuit. Business will sit alongside sport\, family\, media\, politics\, community and public life\, because workplaces do not operate in a vacuum and meaningful change cannot stay inside one sector. \n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Experience\nNew State of Allyship research from Ipsos will ground the day in evidence. Longer expert-led sessions will then open the conversation to the room\, creating space for productive tension\, lived experience and questions that people genuinely want answered. \nCreative expression\, human stories and participatory moments will run throughout the programme. Every major session will include a route for the audience to contribute\, while virtual attendees and corporate watch parties will join selected moments as active participants. \n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Leave With\nStrong emotion matters\, but this conference is designed to move beyond a moment. Every participant will use the conference workbook to capture learning\, build connections and write one 90-day commitment. \nYou will leave with a clearer understanding of the State of Allyship\, practical ideas for your role and organisation\, and a named person or group who can help you turn intention into action. \n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nEmployees and employee network members who want practical ways to make allyship part of everyday work.\nPeople\, HR\, EDI\, learning and organisational development leaders.\nManagers and senior leaders responsible for culture\, teams and accountability.\nPublic service\, government\, academic\, institutional and community voices.\nOrganisations looking for a meaningful International Men’s Day activation.\nAnyone who believes gender dialogue\, human connection and shared responsibility matter.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat Makes Stronger Together Different\n\nFull day at NatWest with enough space for evidence\, disagreement\, reflection and action.\nLonger open sessions rather than a programme dominated by short corporate panels.\nNew Ipsos research used as a reference point throughout the day.\nStories from beyond business that make the issue felt as well as understood.\nAudience-led questions and one collective activation shared across the room and watch parties.\nPrinted conference workbook and a personal 90-day commitment.
