How to get the publicity and support for a men’s movement

Filed under: General — Julie @ 9:47 am Sat 11th October 2008

I noticed that the UK is doing quite well with a men’s movement and I think this group is making it’s voice heard.

Real Father’s for justice

Anyhow, while reading the relevant information on the Auckland City Council website I came across the pages for event organising and noticed that they will direct you and assist you with what you need to do and provide their expertise and experience.

One thing I have noticed in the community is the desire to get men’s issues out in the open and sometimes I think there are a few egos in the political scene wanting to receive some sort of credit for it.

The men’s movement has many worthwhile trusts with great reputations so I wondered whether it may be a good idea to get things up and going in different areas of New Zealand. This is a terrific area for women to support men. Maybe fund-raising and smaller social events in clubs/community venues with speakers would be the go but with men’s issues; one cannot actually surmise whether it will take off madly or slowly reach it’s goals.

There is just so much of a need for it. And so many groups and individuals who want to see it up and going.

Anyhow, how about some ideas? Do you think organising nights to mingle is a good start or do you think a ??????. What do you think?

Some of the greatest minds are in the men’s movement already and there would be an abundance of male creativity out there to tap into to. There are also individuals/groups who organise events for a % of the funding as a fee. All major groups do this from women’s refuges to the Blind to Breast Cancer to raising money for animal shelters.

Think of it this way? If money wasn’t an issue, what would you like to organise?

PS. Auctioning sperm is off the cards and so is taking over Parliament!!
