Viral Social Media Campaign Urges People To Fight Toxic Masculinity With 7 Powerful Posters

The Renaissance Youth Leaders Forum (RYLF) is a socio-civic organization from Silliman University in the Philippines, dedicated to bridging social, cultural, economic, and political divides, and creating a positive change in the community. On November 21st, the organization released a social media campaign against toxic masculinity under the hashtags #FightTheStigma and #UNMUTE.

“Both men and women suffer from toxic masculinity,” the message of the campaign says. “It happens every day both online and offline.”

To illustrate its point, RYLF shared a series of posters. From wearing pink to crying, the organization addressed the ways it thinks society pressures men, distorting their relationship with themselves and the world around them.
