Masculinities and health
This resource suite from VicHealth explores ‘What does it mean to be a man in Australia?’. Research shows that the pressure on men to follow outdated stereotypes of masculinity is contributing to their anxiety, depression, risky drinking and violence against women. Encouragingly, most people support the idea that everyone will benefit if men can break free from harmful gender stereotypes.
