No one should suffer unfair treatment because of their gender. Every year International Men\u2019s Day offers an opportunity to highlight how outcomes for men and boys can be improved and to talk about some of the important work going on every day across Government to do this.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have a range of activity planned to mark International Men\u2019s Day, either on the day itself or in advance, including:<\/p>

  • a men\u2019s health and wellbeing event in Leeds being run by our departmental Mental Health Allies;<\/li>
  • working with our Corporate Communications and Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing teams and our network of Health and Wellbeing Champions to raise awareness amongst our male employees of the range of departmental support and wellbeing programmes available;<\/li>
  • activity being led by our departmental Gender Equality Network includes an International Men\u2019s Day quiz, a shared event with the Government Legal Department, and a breakfast session for dads and dads-to-be; and<\/li>
  • a dedicated International Men\u2019s Day blog from a male member of staff to feature on our employee intranet.<\/li><\/ul>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-11-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-11-04T17:46:47.563Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ministry of Justice: International Men's Day"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans his Department has to mark International Men's Day on 19 November 2019.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "7103"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&answer.answeringMemberConstituency=Croydon+South®isteredInterest=false&max-answer.questionFirstAnswered.=2019-11-05T16%3A58%3A10.523Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 126, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
