"A Call to Men UK has 55 coaches working in schools, youth justice departments and youth centres across Worcestershire. The organisation has one principal aim, explains development manager Michael Conroy: to spark a 'cultural shift in the way boys relate to girls', and through this to prevent violence against women and girls.... 'As a culture it’s time that we gave our young men permission to be complex, sensitive and happy human beings who transmit positivity and respect to others'.” [1]
They have a program "for young men from 11-19", which if you think about it, is pretty much the demographic of Wikimedia's admins and functionaries. [2]
This is all the more interesting right now because of the recent Newmark Foundation grant to combat harassment, which it seems is to be used for developing more forceful blocking tools for admins and functionaries "with the participation and support of the volunteers who will be using the tools". If anyone has not seen the Susan J Fowler / Uber piece on harassment that has started going viral in the last 24 hours, it is here. "...they didn't do anything because the manager who threatened me was a 'high performer.'" [3] Sound familiar? This happened in a company with HR oversight; Wikimedia admins and functionaries have no oversight at all.
