Closed Create a Minister for Men that operates separately from the Minister for Women

Closed on

A 'Minister for Women (and Equalities)' cannot simultaneously be a 'Minister for Men' yet, that is what's in place.
Despite men raising issues in Parliament, men's issues are not raised.
A male-specific voice is required, equality demands it!

Such issues for the Minister for Men to address:
Paternity Rights (or, the lack of!)
Male Suicide (4x higher than female)
Homelessness (approx. 90% male)
Education (boys have been failing at every level since the 1990s)
Domestic Violence (40% victims are male)
False Allegations of Abuse
Disparity in health funding (prostate v breast cancer)
