Description

'Sobering, thought-provoking and action-provoking ... I can't recommend it highly enough' Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio Five Live

'Thoughtful, empowering and important' Mishal Husain

Have you ever...

seen a report on the news about male violence,

heard a troubling story from a female friend,

or witnessed a woman being treated unfairly

...and wondered what men can do about it

In this accessible and inclusive new book, award-winning journalist and campaigner Sophie Gallagher brings men into the conversation and explores how they can help change our society for the better.

Looking at everything from the #NotAllMen argument to challenging assumptions about women, and from learning about The Gap to how to act when passing a woman in the street at night, Sophie reveals the biggest issues standing in the way of gender equality and offers practical steps and advice on how to be part of the solution, not the problem.

How Men Can Help is an essential book for anyone looking to understand the past, improve their behaviour in the present, and make a brighter, safer and fairer future for everyone.
