Overview

🧠 Most children aged 6–15 are aware of incel-related content and online misogyny.

We’re facing a cultural moment that demands awareness, education, and empathy—not fear.

🚨 A recent UK Government report on Incels (Involuntary Celibates) found that this group experiences extremely poor mental health, with 1 in 5 contemplating suicide. These individuals are often isolated and vulnerable—requiring support, not criminalisation.

👥 Our training workshop explores:

  • Who are incels, and what is toxic masculinity?

  • How does online misogyny spread, and what does it look like?

  • What’s the real impact on young people—and how do we safeguard them?

  • What are the signs, memes, and lexicon that signal deeper risk?

  • What does healthy masculinity look like, and how do we promote it?

💡 Designed for:
HR & DEI professionals | Teachers & safeguarding staff | Police & youth workers | Mental health practitioners | Local authorities | NGOs

📚 Learn practical strategies to:
✅ Recognise harmful language and behaviours
✅ Intervene effectively with safeguarding frameworks
✅ Promote positive masculinity and social inclusion

Let’s build workplaces, schools, and communities where young people are supported—not radicalised.
