Australia State Offices for Men or Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'State governments in Australia currently exhibit a sex bias in terms of housing offices or portfolios whose purpose is to advise legislators on policies related male or female wellbeing (see the links for each office for details on the various activities undertaken by these offices). However, only the Northern Territory has a portfolio focused on men’s wellbeing, and this portfolio is combined with the women’s portfolio in the Office of Gender Equity and Diversity. Thus, boys and men in Australia are not benefiting from this same level of state- or territory-level attention as girls and women. This bias is odd considering that life expectancy is four years shorter among Australian males than females, with part of this sex difference in life expectancy due to higher rates of homicide victimization and suicide among Australian males than females.'
