Brighton Marathon 2023 · 2 April 2023 ·

Beyond Equality began as schools and universities projects, both of which used interactive conversations and exercises with young men and boys to give them the chance to think about who they would like to be and to discover how they could help to create safer and equitable communities. We are now also sparking those conversations in workplaces, sports teams and communities across the UK and beyond. Our mission is to engage men and boys in a way that enables them to rethink some of the social norms they have been taught about themselves so that they can aim towards a society that practises true gender equality, encourages respectful and positive relationships and prevents gender-based violence. Our workshops are led by trained facilitators who are able to lead and guide conversations on many of subjects that people find it difficult to discuss: sex and relationships, mental health, consent, violence, language and personal agency. Consistently, participants report that this is the first time many of them have realised the impact of their behaviour in their community, opened up about their own difficulties, learnt about those of their peers, and discovered ways to help be part of solving the problems. Outside of the workshops, we provide spaces and training for our community so that they can do deep explorative work on their values, masculinity, gender justice and structures of oppression; equipping them with a framework of allyship that they can apply to their

Story

Hi,

I'm running a marathon with my dad for Beyond Equality (BE). They help young men and boys to understand harmful stereotypes about masculinity.

There is a national conversation around the roles of men in society. BE are experts with almost a decade of experience navigating these difficult conversations in schools, universities, sports, and corporate spaces. They need your help to reach them.

As always, doing this with the big man in mind.

Anything is appreciated,

Cheers
