Testimonials in Support of the New York Declaration for Men and Boys:

  • “I applaud the much needed New York Declaration for Men and Boys, highlighting so many of the key issues that are destroying the lives of men and boys across the world. It is shameful that matters such as parental alienation, false allegations, the soaring male suicide rate are kept off the public agenda.” — Bettina Arndt, Mothers of Sons, Australia
  • “With over 20 years of research in parenting, fathering, parent-child relationships, and human development, the scholarship on boys and men is clear. All individuals, regardless of gender, social class, ethnicity, abilities, and any other factors, have the right to dignity and should be free from any forms of abuse.” — Susan Chuang, PhD, International Families Alliance, Canada
  • “Imagine a world where men feel safe to voice their truths. Where men are vulnerable and also strong. Where men speak out and are not canceled.” —Dr. Gilda Carle, author, Real Men Don’t Go Woke
  • “The New York Declaration for Men and Boys is a historic policy document that advocates for common sense solutions for men and boys. A massive thank you on behalf of the children, women and men of the world. Ultimately our children will be the benefactors of your farsighted vision.” — Warwick Marsh, Dads4Kids, Australia
  • “We hereby express our unequivocal support for the New York Declaration for Men and Boys and its mission to promote fairness, equity, and justice for all. The Declaration represents a critical step toward dismantling systemic barriers, challenging harmful stereotypes, and fostering opportunities for men and boys to thrive alongside women and girls.” — Lyn Crabtree, International Falsely Accused Day, England
  • “Take care of the boy child and the man will emerge. Invest in what you desire to see.” — Rosemary Kinuthia, African Boychild Network, Kenya
  • “For too long, we have treated men and boys with indifference or contempt, accusing them, blaming them, and acting towards them as if their only role in modern society is to apologize for being male. It is the duty of men and women of good conscience to reach out to them with compassion and right action.” — Janice Fiamengo, Professor of English, University of Ottawa
