Movember is about men’s health
There’re issues endangering the health of men, mainly neglect, avoidance, the social pressure to be silent, quiet emotions and just take it “like a man”. Movember advocates for change. Because for society to thrive we need healthy women and men. We need to change the narrative for boys as well as the narrative for girls.
The reality is that men are dying from preventable and treatable diseases, as well as from taking matters into their own hands, not to find solutions or reach out for help, but to end the pain and suffering, and with it cut short the potential their lives represented.
Creativity and self-expression is an outlet for emotions, in making one finds a purpose, a way to say the things we cannot say, a way to cope with difficult or challenging situations.
Offer the gift of creativity and self-expression to the men in your life. The bedrock of society rests in the hands of each individual, but to move it further along it’ requires a group effort. Women and men, united and finally free to say, we’re ready to shake the limits of our genders, embrace masculine and feminine traits, to make our lives whole, to save our lives, take it as a human being, heels, beards and all.
