This Commission has identified 5 key area's that need to be addressed to counteract the crisis that already exist for boys and men:
- Education - Boys are behind girls in almost every subject, especially reading and writing, yet boy-friendly program are curtailed. Title IX discriminates against boys propensity to sport.
- Jobs - Sons/Boys are not being prepared for where the jobs will be.
- Fatherlessness - Father absence creates huge behavioural issues for kids - and already 1/3 of boys are raised without their fathers. Why do we allow this? Do government program promote this?
- Physical and Emotional Health - Men + boys suffer death much earlier/often than women/girls, yet there is no corresponding program dedicated to Men/Boy's health. Boys suicides rates are much higher as they feel the distress of their gender roles.
