That’s why today, in Parliament, we are launching the Men & Boys Coalition, a collective of 50 leading charities, academics, journalists and campaigners to form the UK’s largest ever coalition dedicated to addressing men’s issues.

The Men and Boys Coalition brings together organisations and individuals specialising in fields that range from mental health and suicide prevention to education and parenting.

Much of these issues have been thrashed out via the pages of Telegraph Men, which has been central both to Coalition members meeting, and ensuring previously niche – and yes, sometimes ugly – issues reached the mainstream.

For it can sometimes seem the system is stacked against males, simply because they had the misfortune, not good fortune, to be born men.

For example, I wrote that, despite the fact 3,500 victims of violent sexual assault and rape in the UK in 2014 were men, the UK’s biggest male-dedicated support charity, Survivors UK, has had its funding cut to zero.

Also, despite there being an additional £80 million this year to help end violence against women and girls, The ManKind Initiative had to rely on private donations to get the £45,000 it needed to keep its helplines for male victims of domestic violence open. When you consider one third of victims of domestic violence are men, how can this be equal or fair?
