What would the future be like if all women and men worked together to carry the human species forward as equal partners?

I have expanded my physician's passion for wellness into addressing a growing gender divide that, if left unchecked, will undermine the well-being of humans throughout the world.

This divide is now everywhere—in our educational foundations, employment, our legal system, health care and the virtues of friendship.

Looking at what is happening throughout the world—and this is by no means only an American problem—it is apparent that these issues are not limited to any one continent but now span the globe.

How can we start turning things around?

By having a better understanding of men and boys, physically, biologically and psychologically. This is the fundamental objective of the Foundation for Male Studies. We are working to foster intellectually rigorous and groundbreaking research on the state of males throughout the world.

And we are working hard to address the gap in scholarship and scientific research that exists between the study of males and females, while investigating, reporting and teaching about the state of males within disciplines including biology, sociology, literature, economics, law, political science, public policy, psychology, anthropology, medicine and education.

Now, I'm asking you for your help. At the donation section of our site, you can help us achieve our goals by choosing a target to sponsor. From financing the cost of an upcoming conference, to underwriting a men's center at a college of your choice, you can make a significant impact toward helping boys and men across the globe.

We have a significant challenge ahead of us. Getting the attention of the universities, professionals and foundations worldwide is a daunting and costly task. Click on the Donate Now button above.

By helping the Foundation for Male Studies with a gift, you will be personally responsible for making a changes that will help our sons, uncles, fathers, grandfathers, brothers and consequently all genders.

Looking Forward,
Edward M. Stephens, MD
