As the world celebrates the International Day of the Boy Child, advocates are calling for a renewed focus on mentorship, emotional well-being, and life skills for boys—key elements often missing in child empowerment conversations.
While empowering girls has rightfully gained global attention, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the boy child is silently struggling in the shadows.
Emotional repression, lack of mentorship, and limited access to life skills training are leaving many boys unequipped to handle the challenges of adulthood.
This year’s International Day of the Boy Child serves as a crucial reminder that boys, too, need support.
From tackling harmful gender stereotypes to addressing mental health and personal development, the conversation must include the boy child.
Advocates like Kobby Kyei in Ghana have launched impactful initiatives such as #BoysLivesMatterToo, highlighting the need to raise emotionally intelligent and socially responsible men.
Supporting boys is not about shifting focus away from girls; it’s about creating a balanced society where both genders are empowered to thrive.
The future depends on how we nurture all children—equally and intentionally.
Let’s commit to raising boys who are not just strong, but kind, self-aware, and capable of contributing positively to society.
