Sustainable solutions to preventing online misogyny
Tackling the root causes of misogyny and addressing young men and boys’ needs
The Misogyny Policy Project, an initiative of Men and Policy, supports the development of collaborative, cross-sector policy solutions to reduce online misogyny, while positively engaging men and boys as valued partners. It takes an aspirational, coordinated, preventive systems approach: addressing men and boys’ mental health and other needs, supporting positive narrtives on being a man, preventing violence against women and girls, and protecting all young people from harm.
The Project convenes organisations and experts across sectors to support joint action, research and learning; develops and advocates for upstream policy solutions to online misogyny and its related harms; and builds political will for action. It works closely with government, academics, charities and thought leaders to strengthen collaboration and translate evidence and learning into policy.

Ministerial Briefing on online misogyny and healthy masculinities
This Ministerial briefing provides a detailed set of recommended policy actions to tackling online misogyny and promote positive masculinities based on a roundtable convened by MPP earlier this year. Held together with Jess Asato MP, Fabian Women and Male Allies UK, this event brought together a range of sectors - EVAW, men and boys, online harm, mental health, teachers, trade unions, think tanks and donors - to discuss collaborative and multi-sectoral policy solutions. It was preceded by 17 different consultative meetings MPP held with stakeholders working on these issues.
