The Series calls for a coordinated response to the varied, intersecting factors that affect men’s health around the world – including shifting masculinity narratives, social, political, commercial, and technological drivers. The Series emphasises that efforts to improve men’s health should not be at the expense of tackling women’s health disparities but that, when effective, will contribute to shared public good – the wellbeing of all people, economic security and social cohesion

The event will be live streamed and recorded.
