The Need to Create a White House Council on Boys to Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Warren Farrell: The five different areas in which boys are in crisis—education; jobs; emotional health; physical health; and fatherlessness—are handled by different portions of the government. First, White House co-ordination creates the best possibility of avoiding different departments having program duplication and becoming territorial. Second, the best solutions are holistic ones; a Council located in any given department would be less holistic and more territorial.

Most important, a Council on boys and men parallel to the White House Council on Women and Girls would signal to the world that boys and men are facing problems, alert schools and parents as to the nature of these problems, and alert all the nation’s institutions to explore how attending to these problems might help our sons, daughters, families and nation.'
