Childhood and adolescence are critical periods in shaping lifelong health, resilience, and decision-making.

On the International Day of the Boy Child, WFAD highlights the importance of ensuring that every boy grows up in environments that support his wellbeing, healthy development, and ability to thrive.

Supporting boys early, with the emotional, social, and practical tools they need to navigate challenges, is not only essential for their wellbeing, but also a key part of effective prevention.

Families, schools, sports clubs, youth organisations, and communities all play a role in creating the conditions in which boys can grow with confidence and resilience.

On this International Day of the Boy Child, WFAD calls for continued investment in evidence-based, gender-sensitive prevention and mental health support that helps every boy reach his full potential.
