Gender-Neutral Policy, Equitable Funding, and the Urgent Crisis of Male Suicide
The issue
The link for the reform paper can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h1kcyr0ujy67g0q44zntm/A-Call-for-Reform-Mens-Mental-Health.pdf?rlkey=epmdb1os5xkprlza7gmroa9mk&st=v9f0lo9m&dl=0
Advocating for:
- Funding for men's mental health and suicide prevention
- A National Male Suicide Prevention Strategy
- A gender-neutral review of the Women's Budget Statement
- Reformed data collection and public reporting
- A family law system grounded in objective evidence
Australia faces a national emergency that transcends political rhetoric. Social isolation, relationship breakdown (especially the loss of contact with children), financial stress, unemployment, and untreated depression are major risk factors contributing to the escalating crisis of male suicide. Families fracture, children lose parents, and communities bear the long-term consequences of preventable deaths. Addressing this crisis demands a national response grounded in inclusivity, fairness, and empirical reality, not ideology.
We're aiming for 2,529 signatures, which accounts for every male life lost in 2024. Help us reach this goal and get it in front of decision-makers.
Takes 10 seconds to sign. One share is all it takes to make sure this petition is seen.
