HUGE congratulations to YJI board member Holly Hostettler-Davies, who last night was named the Rising Star of the Year at the 2025 awards ceremony of the SheInspires Foundation at Bolton Football Stadium. The award highlights the achievements and journeys of exceptional women who provide inspiration and guidance to the next generation of leaders. Holly's work founding and launching a youth board for the Menstrual Health Project, her developing the sex education curriculum in a region of Ghana this year and her role in a campaign that made public sexual harassment illegal in England and Wales were some of the achievements that led to her selection for the prize.

🎉 Happy International Men’s Day! 💪🌍Today we raise awareness for men and boys everywhere — and reflect on what masculinity really means.🇬🇧 Reporter Matty Ennis wrote about how traditional gender roles can trap boys in a “suffocating box of masculinity,” where showing emotion or vulnerability is often seen as weakness. 💭His story is a powerful reminder that strength also means empathy, honesty, and being true to yourself. 🌟❤️ Help YJI by donating at helpyji.org🔗 Read at youthjournalism.org/gender-roles-trap-boys-in-a-suffocating-box-of-masculinity/-----#youthjournalisminternational #journalism #education #archivepost #fromourarchives #youthjournalism #worldmenday #genderroles #men #worldmensday #masculinity #toxicmasculinity #man #stereotype #cliche #harmful #feminism #awareness ...
