 We can take the opportunity afforded to us by this day to make a difference to men and boys.
 
The International Men’s day Website calls for

• Improving Relations between men and women
• Addressing the problems and Challenges men face
• Promoting gender equality
• Highlighting positive male role models
• Creating a safer, better world

 
We hope what you will find is a show that touches on all those things and takes them all deeper to show we don’t’ just want a better we want true, real, honest, which means we sometimes have to be raw and vulnerable. As you can see there are many services that can support in this process.
 
Here are the links to all the individual interviews as well as the panel discussion! They are featured in order of transmission.
