Rethinking Masculinity: The Evolving Roles of Men Today- Dr Priya Parekh

The MeTo we mission 2034 foundation and it's  movement's impactful work seeks to redefine traditional masculinity, challenging long-held stereotypes and embracing a more inclusive, empathetic definition of manhood.

As we navigate this transformative journey, it's essential to acknowledge the shifting roles of men in modern society.



From Breadwinners to Caregivers


Gone are the days of men being solely defined as providers. Today's men are increasingly required to take on nurturing roles, prioritizing family and emotional well-being. Involved fatherhood and taking the rightful paternity leaves to shared household responsibilities, and emotional expression are becoming the normal.


Breaking Free from Toxic Masculinity


Mard ko dard nahi hota...

Most of the boys grew up with this phrase and start believing in it too..

Stereotypes of aggression, dominance, and emotional suppression are being dismantled. Men are encouraged now to express vulnerability, empathy, and compassion without fear of judgment. This shift fosters healthier relationships, better mental health, and a more balanced approach to life.





Redefined Strength


If you are aggressive then you are a REAL MAN...seriously???

Traditional notions of strength are giving way to more nuanced understandings. Men are recognizing that vulnerability, active listening, and open communication are signs of courage, not weakness. This redefinition empowers men to seek help, express emotions, and build meaningful connections.


Male Allies and Advocates


The Metowe MISSION 2034  has sparked a surge in male allies, using their privilege to amplify marginalized voices. Men are increasingly advocating for gender equality, gender neutral roles,supporting survivors, and challenging negative behaviors.


Key Statistics:


- 27% of men report taking on more household responsibilities in India. The number needs more encouragement

- 40% of men dont believe in emotional expression which  is essential for mental health while statistics say 33% of men suffer from depression in India


- The ratio of male to female suicide rates in India as of 2021 was 72.5% to 27.5%


These numbers clearly show that

the work Metowe MISSION 2034 has taken in hand to break the stereotypes and promote gender neutrality is supremely important and need of the hour



The Future of Masculinity


By 2034, we envision a world where:


- Men prioritize self-care and mental health

- Emotional intelligence is celebrated as a strength

- Men and women share equal responsibilities and opportunities and create a gender-neutral environment

- Masculinity is redefined, embracing diversity and inclusivity
