Orange is another one of our brand colours. We may not have done it on purpose, but it definitely works for #OrangeTheWorld to stand against gender-based violence.
SOC stands with you!

Almost half of men have struggled with their mental health recently. But current restrictions mean they're missing out on support from those around them.

Thank you to the men (& allies) out there sharing their stories, showing the world that it's okay to be vulnerable, that feelings are what make everyone human - that mental health knows no gender. #yousirareamazing ๐ โข #InternationalMensDay#jointhesocclub
For all the dudes out there. Society has traditionally been averse to talking about these issues you face, but I think this is changing.
It's also a reminder to check in on the men in your lives - brothers, sons, dads, husbands, friends, uncles, grandpas.

Both genders go through the same problems, but boys problems arenโt highlighted enough.
Sexual harassment in the workplace has been a big topic in the local news lately. We can let it worry us, or we can let it empower us to take action and to educate ourselves and others.
