“I don’t remember the last time my father and I said ‘I love you’.” — Oliver Lawson That silence follows boys into adulthood. They struggle to say it. Struggle to receive it. Struggle to believe they deserve it. Follow @BYSLMintl

Today is International Mens Day. This is a reminder for men to show up for the next generation, visit schools, mentor boys, teach consent, respect and responsibility. Let's raise men who understand autonomy and accountability. It’s time to step up. #InternationalMensDay

"How do men survive when they're broke” — Ama IG (fyn_girl10) When a man is broke, overwhelmed, or fighting for stability… he usually has no one to call. Silence is killing our boys and men. Follow @BYSLMintl

Noted, I recently organized this exclusively for the boys at Presec, Legon, and the team is eager to do more outreach. This campaign won’t be limited to online efforts. Thank you. #BoysLivesMatter
@KobbyKyei_ You can host a podcast or a space and start talking about patriarchy and it’s effects on the boy child. That’s a start. You can donate to males in schools and interact with them. Teach boys about sexual assault and consent. Join the fight for Ransford etc etc. not just online.

Reverse psychology at play. Instead of taking responsibility for her actions, she shifts the blame onto the young boy she took advantage of. Cc @GhPoliceService

For some reason, the male gender is always the one at fault. This woman slept with a 9 year old boy and her posture suggests it’s the boy’s fault. The host’s concluding statement “ Akwadaa no ye akwaadaa bone” also suggests the young lad is at fault. So yes, Ghana has

Reverse genders and it'll be a different conversation and reaction. This is what @KobbyKyei_ has been fighting for. #BoysLivesMatter

So many boys went through painful experiences growing up, and most carried it in silence for years. Stories like this remind us of the hidden battles so many young men faced with no one to protect them or listen. I am glad boys are finally speaking up. #BoysLivesMatter 💔

@KobbyKyei_ The truth is all men silently suffer from high-functional depression. It's actually quite "normal". But if you put any man in a high-pressure environment without a support group & healthy coping mechanisms for stress, eventually even if they don't commit suicide, they break down.

males have been made symbol of struggle so hardly do they share their struggles. we're going through a lot but still keep our heads up.

I’m really glad you opened up. What you’re feeling is heavy, but it doesn’t mean you’re stuck forever. You’ve survived every dark moment up to now, and that shows strength, not weakness. Please hold on because your life still has purpose and things can get better #BoysLivesMatter
@KobbyKyei_ Then I really need someone to open up to boss am really in a depression state from 2023 till now taught of kill myself 12 times. Even just yesterday had the same feeling. I feel that I am stuck if I really open up to anyone then you will understand. Right now it just some hope
