From the Margins to the Mainstream

The COVID-19 pandemic is shining a light on the state of men’s health globally.  Men are much more likely than women to die from the virus; in large part because of their greater risk of already having a serious underlying disease.  This risk is linked to the historic failure to address men’s health in policy at the global, national and local levels.

During Men’s Health Week 2020, Global Action on Men’s Health (GAMH) is launching a new report titled: 'From the Margins to the Mainstream: Advocating the inclusion of men’s health in policy'.  This examines why health policy has been a no man’s land, what opportunities exist for progress, and how men’s health advocates can effectively make their case. 

GAMH is holding two webinars, lasting about an hour each, to share and discuss the report’s findings. The first event is, primarily, aimed at an audience from Europe and the Americas, and will take place on Wednesday 17 June 2020 at 3.00pm Irish time.

The report will be presented by Peter Baker (GAMH Director). There will be short responses from Dr Noel Richardson (Director of the National Centre for Men’s Health at IT Carlow, Ireland) and Dr Rosemary Morgan (Assistant Scientist, Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA).  The webinar will be chaired by Professor Steve Robertson (Editor of the International Journal of Men’s Social and Community Health).
