The good lads
Working with men and boys to tackle everyday sexism
Men and boys are being taught how to tackle some of the uncomfortable truths about everyday sexism.
Many don鈥檛 realise the extent of the problem - cat-calling, unwelcome comments and dominating behaviour are all things that women across the world put up with on a daily basis.
This week鈥檚 solution looks at a project called the Good Lad Initiative in the UK, which is trying to help men understand why it happens and how they can help change things. It also helps them to improve their relationships with other men and challenge traditional values.
Robbie Wojciechowski meets ambassadors for the group as they train and he finds out how positive masculinity workshops are creating communities of men who want to help in the fight for equality.
