Boys are at Risk: Confronting the Rise of Online Misogyny and Harmful Ideologies

White Ribbon’s new report reveals the deep impact of misogynistic and hateful ideologies on young men and boys.

Nearly 7 in 10 Canadian parents rate exposure to hateful and discriminatory ideologies as one of the top three dangers kids face online, alongside cyberbullying and sexual predators.

4 in 5 educators have witnessed misogynistic behaviours in the classroom.

White Ribbon has just released a new original report examining the impact of misogynistic and hateful ideologies on young men and boys.

Drawing on the voices of parents, educators, and youth-serving professionals, the report highlights the growing influence of radical ideologies and their effects on boys’ lives and communities.

This research reflects White Ribbon’s ongoing commitment to prevention. By bringing these challenges to light, we aim to equip educators, parents, and communities with the tools to counter harmful messages and create environments where boys can grow up with respect, empathy, and equality.

Ending gender-based violence against starts with how we support and guide our boys.
