The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Men and Boys' Issues was founded in 2021 and re-started in the new Parliament in September 2024.
Its remit remains: To raise awareness of disadvantages and poor outcomes faced by men and boys in education, mental and physical health and law; to influence attitudes, role models, policy and legislation that will lead to positive differences to their well-being and lives.‘
The Secretariat is now the Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys.
Previously the APPG's secretariat was Mike Bell's Equi-Law whose idea it was to approach Parliamentarians in 2021 to create this APPG.
