Right to health in early childhood - Right to survival and development 2015, para. 81
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur wishes to highlight that the healthy development of boys is an important issue and should also be addressed. In many cultures boys are not allowed or encouraged to express their emotions, which results in the adult male population being more prone to violent and self-destructive behaviour. This inhibition relates to gender stereotyping that is harmful for both girls and women, boys and men.
