Covid-19 and Masculinities in Global Perspective
COVID-19 has affected individuals and communities in gendered ways. A spike in men’s violence against women has been documented in multiple settings. Women have faced disproportionate job losses in many countries. Men have died at higher rates from COVID-19 for both biological and social causes. Masculinist responses by some national leaders, and men’s lower propensity to adhere to COVID-19 related health recommendations are also gendered. Resear…

Research findings from a study of 50 young men, aged between 16 and 25, attending a range of social care services, are highly significant in this con…
