The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if her Department will take steps to promote positive male role models.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

We recognise that strong role models can be key in inspiring others, and in challenging harmful stereotypes.

My officials work closely with male business leaders and campaigners to help make the case that steps to improve equality benefit everyone. They also support work going on across government aimed at tackling gendered stereotypes.

In addition to this work, the Department of Health and Social Care is developing a Men's Health Strategy to address the leading health issues that affect men. The strategy will be part of the government's 10 Year Health Plan.
