Modern EU equality policies must also address the challenges faced by men and boys, particularly to counter polarisation and backlash against gender equality, Magnus Heunicke, Danish minister of Gender Equality, told Euronews.
“We must include men and boys in our gender equality efforts, not just as allies for women and girls’ rights and empowerment, but in their own right,” Heunicke said, adding that the bloc should increase efforts in areas where men and boys are overrepresented or face gender-specific difficulties, such as health, loneliness, or social exclusion.
