Story summary
  • A Westminster Hall debate examined appointing a minister for men and boys in the UK.
  • Dr. Luke Evans (Conservative MP) argued that men and boys lag behind women and girls in health and education.
  • Since the UK's first Minister for Women was appointed in 1997, no equivalent role exists for men and boys.
  • However, concerns arise that the position could be tokenistic and distract from efforts to promote women's equality.
